Synopsis:
Excerpt from Compressed Gun Cotton for Military Use: Translated From the German of Max Von Förster With an Introduction on Modern Gun Cotton, Its Manufacture, Properties and Analysis
Gun cotton, although the first discov ered of the sudden explosives, the most thoroughly investigated and the safest, has not been employed to the extent to which its properties seem to entitle it. The accidents of the explosion of the earlier large factories of gun cotton, the rapid discovery and introduction of other sudden explosives, especially nitro-gly cerine and its derivatives, the failure for some time to produce a pure material, and finally the unsuccessful attempts to introduce it in artillery, led to its aban donment to a large extent.
