AMCP 706-185, AMC PAMPHLET: ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK - MILITARY PYROTECHNICS SERIES (PART ONE) THEORY AND APPLICATIONS (APR-1967)., This 1967 Handbook is one of a series intended to fill a need for an authoritative and comprehensive source of information on military pyrotechnics. It deals with the physical and chemical theoretical aspects of the production of pyrotechnic effects, and the application of the theory to practice. It is a common misconception to regard military pyrotechnics as being synonymous with fireworks. Military pyrotechnics is rapidly developing into a science which exploits all applicable scientific and engineering principles and practices. This Handbook includes a chapter on the history of the pyrotechnic art, a chapter giving a general introduction to the application of pyrotechnic devices to military problems, and chapters on physical-chemical relationships, visibility, production of heat, production of light, and production of smoke.
