where 1t was made. the lot was good.
Deterioration afterward rendered the
cartridges useless.
The deterioration was due to use of
impure domestic potassium chlorate.
as the supply OF German potassium
has been exhausted. The new guam
tity was found to contain by-products
which reacted to form an acid and
prevent explosion. As soon as this
difficulty was noticed. the ordnance
department obtained chemically pure
potassium chlorate and has had no
