| Description |
|
The bomb consists of two containers made of mild steel sheet. The space between them is filled with steel pellets embedded in concrete. The nose and the body of the bomb are apparently loaded separately with their filler of concrete and steel. A brown substance, which tops the nose filling, forms a cushion between the concrete filling. It appears to be a waterproof composition, containing a resinous wax. |
