The text is largely in a two-column format. The Bureau of Explosives (BOE) is a unique membership organization dedicated to helping carriers, shippers, and container manufact…urers continually improve hazardous materials transportation safety. Formed in 1907 by the railroad industry to serve as a self-policing agency to advance the safe transportation of explosives and other dangerous articles, the BOE actually developed the first hazardous materials safety rules, which were later adopted and expanded upon by the Interstate Commerce Commission and later the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Transporting explosives requires strict adherence to federal, state, and local regulations, primarily overseen by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This is an important document illustrating the state-of-the-art, the state-of-knowledge, the state-of-practice, and the principles of training for the transportation of explosives (and other hazardous materials), principally in rail cars during the Second World War. Among the topics covered are Hazardous Materials, Explosives, Bracing, Divided Load, Stepdown Load, Interlocking Devices, Floor Space, Mixed Shipments, Kegs, Carboys, Acid, and Cylinders.
