AMCP 706-186, ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK: MILITARY PYROTECHNICS SERIES - PART TWO - SAFETY, PROCEDURES, AND GLOSSARY (31-OCT-1963)., This short pamphlet is useful because it contains an in-depth list of materials found in standard and improvised pyrotechnic mixtures, and their relative sensitivities to other materials with which they may inadvertently be mixed or contacted. There is a glossary of the terms routinely used when discussing these mixtures, as well as presentation of the normal (required) particle sizes of common pyrotechnic constituents. This handbook constitutes Part Two of a planned series on Military Pyrotechnics and forms part of the Engineering Design !-xndbook Series of the Army Mate- riel Command. Part Two deals with the problems of safety in the pyrotechnics laboratory and plant, processing procedures and equipment, particle size procedures, and contains a glossary of terms. Part Three, a separate handbook with the same date of publication, contains data sheets or 1Z8 ingredients used in pyrotechnic compositions.
