The trucks are stripped and motors sent to the shops for complete reconditioning. The motors are placed on a conveyor where the subassembly is removed. They are checked to determine the extent of repair necessary. A steam jenny is used to give them a thorough cleaning. Various parts have been removed and carried to individual engine stands where the mechanics work on them. The valve assemblies are removed and placed on stands where cylinders are marine machine honed. Where possible, all parts are reconditioned and used again. The reconditioned motors are given a test shake down before being put to work again. Also on okinawa, m4 tanks are equipped with m2antipersonnela1 mines. Replacing the detonator type igniter used on the original m2a these have been devised1, to prevent suicidal attacks by enemy personnel. Rackets to hold the mines are welded on the tank turret. The wiring system inside the tank furnishes the electrical connection between the brackets and central switch which controls firing of the mines. Each bracket has an electrical contact point against which the mine is fitted when placed in the bracket. Inside the still flames tube of the m2 is a 16mm mortar protect file weighing three pounds and filled with tnt. Ignition of the base charge propels the projectile approximately six feet before detonation occurs. There are casualties within ten yards of the blast. Lieutenant general hodges and 10th Army Officers are present at field tests of the modified m2a1s. The disassembly of the navy 12 millimeter rocket. Projectiles of this type are approximately 28 and a half inches long and weighing 51 pounds, located on okinawa june 14 by the 115th infantry regiment.

Unscrewing the motor body from the warhead. The rockets aerial burst fuse is, in effect, a powder delayed train allowing the projectile to travel 2000 to 3000 yards before detonation of the main charge, which is housed in this warhead motor adapter. The warhead body is a onepiece steel cylinder with welded nose and contains a metal canister filled with 62 metal encased incendiary pellets. A small burster tube testing one of the sticks of repellent by igniting the smokeless powder. Demonstrating the assembly of the incendiary canister. A label refers to the incendiary power as special compound. The pellets are easily ignited. Rockets are testfired by the 95th ordinance bomb disposal squad using a specially constructed launcher. Blasting caps are fixed. It is believed the rocket was intended for use on suicide boats. [explosion] music and oka now a native guides and american patrol on a rare mission.

Hydraulic jacks lifted so that it can be removed by a train and the prime mover lifted out again. Backfilling by bulldozer or other earthmoving machinery is the next step. To minimize the rearward motion when firing, it is recommended the backfill be tamped solidly. A timber runway is constructed enabling the tube to be directed onto the base. A hydraulic pump and valve system within the base raises the jack that permits the carrier to be driven away. The jacks are lowered and the tube drops into the elevating rack is engaged with the pinon. A hydraulic pump driven by an electric motor on the elevating segment is used the pump the tube into battery position. The base unit of the propelling charge is inserted, using a powder charger with a pair of telescoping tubes. The largest caliber motor ever built, little david was conceived and designed as a special assault weapon for land forces on unusually resistant targets. Loading the projectile, which weighs 3650 pounds. Elevation of the morter after the shell has been aligned and entered into the deep end of the rotating pan allows it to slide into a seat at the rear of the tube.
