EXCELLENT text;. Thank you for finding it & the link. Material of this sort from the 1970's is not too easy to find. Primaries and secondaries,
test modeling.....good stuff - diagrams of simple apparatus of test equipment, etc.. Overall a very good find. Great post.

Report Date : MAR 1972
Pagination or Media Count : 257
Abstract : It is intended that this Textbook should be of use to new
entrants into the field of Service explosives in the spheres of
research, design, development, production and inspection, and to
members of the Armed Forces and Government Establishments
who need an introduction to the general subject. its aim is to give
a broad view of the chemistry and properties of those substances
of an initiatory, ignitory, explosive, pyrotechnic or propellant
character, which are of interest to the British Services at the time
(1972) of writing. Weapons, ammunition and ballistics are touched
on only in order to illustrate the requirements which must be met
by various types of explosives and some of the problems which can
arise in design and development.

Abstract : The encyclopedia is intended to serve as a research and
reference aid on domestic and foreign explosives, both industrial
and military. The main body of the encyclopedia is divided into
three sections: glossary, general section, and foreign section. In
addition, there is an appendix and a bibliography. The glossary
contains primarily those terms which either are unique to
explosives or which have a particular specialized meaning when
applied to explosives. The general section covers domestic and
foreign standard explosives that are currently in use. The foreign
section constitutes an index of foreign explosives nomenclature. It
is subdivided into British, French, German, Hungarian, Italian,
Japanese, Russian, and Spanish terms.

Explosives and Their Power M. Berthelot
EXPLOSIVES AND THEIR POWER.
TRANSLATED AND CONDENSED FROM THE FRENCH
OF M. BERTHELOT By C. NAPIER HAKE,
FELLOW OF THB INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY, INSPECTOR OF
EXPLOSIVES TO THE GOVERNMENT OF VICTORIA;
And WILLIAM MACNAB,
FELLOW OF THB INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY.
WITH A PREFACE BY
LIEUT.-COLONEL J. P. CUNDILL, R.A.,
H.M. INSPECTOR OF EXPLOSIVES.
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS.
LONDON:
JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET.
1892.
PREFACE.
The great work of M. Berthelot has for some years been a mine
from which copious stores of valuable matter have been obtained
and translated into various languages.
So far, however, no English translation or adaptation of the book,
as a whole, has appeared.
The great key-note of the work now translated is the application of
thermo-chemistry to the study of explosives. Though not the first
in this field, yet M. Berthelot has, in the extent and variety of his
researches, eclipsed his colleagues, and it is mainly due to him
that thermo-chemistry occupies the position which it now holds in
this department of science.
The book does not pretend to be a practical guide to manufacture,
but is, on the other hand, most valuable to the manufacturer and
practical experimentalist in the indications which it gives of the
properties and powers likely to be possessed by an explosive
already made, or by one in contemplation.

You may find his work on acetylene interesting, I did.

Report Date : 31 JAN 1964
Pagination or Media Count : 824
Abstract : The collection consists of four divisions. The first division
covers the questions of sensitivity of explosives to mechanical
influences, considered on the basis of new presentations about the
appearance of an explosion during shock. Articles in the second
division are devoted to the results of the investigation of the
thermal disintegration of different nitro esters and certain
nitrocompounds. In the third division there is research on the
ignition and detonation of explosives. In the fourth division are
articles referring to different questions of the theory of explosives.

Zeitschrift für das gesamte Schiess- und Sprengstoffwesen
Volumes 3-4
In it day The journal on explosives.
OK — its in German and 100 megs. However, it free.
I hope Google scans the remaining volumes. I know not
how many there were I would note that I own origional
copies of volumes 3-1908, 6-1911 and 8-1913.
