The Explosive Charge - Rectangular in

shape with the following approximate dimensions: 30 x 20

x 7 centimeters.

The charge consists of a block of

explosive covered with a solid, putty-like plastic

material, the entire surface of which is covered with

black insulation tape.

At one of its edges, 2 plugs

for an Iron pipe of 3/4 inch diameter were found.

These

are fastened separately by a screw to lengths of galvanized

Iron pipe of the same diameter and approximately 15

centimeters long.

The pipes are located inside the

explosive charge and serve as a lodging for the detonators.

Two metallic rods of 7 millimeters in diameter and 10

centimeters long extend along the longitudinal axis of

the charge.

They nave screws at the ends which serve

to fasten them to the spools.(s

The explosive inside is white in color and

plastic-like.

Its characteristics and potency are unknown.

It will be necessary to conduct analyses to determine

Its class and type. (5)

ascertained that the explosive charge

was not assembled and

ready for detonation, since it did

not contain the proper elements for starting, propagating

and amplifying the detonation. PHoToGRApH NO. 101

b) Spools-magnets - There are four of them,

and they consist of

spools of approximately 3 x 2x1

inches, containing at their ends two metallic plates

fastened by bolts.

Each of these plates has a bore hole

Into which the small rods used to hold the charge are

placed.

On the side opposite that containing the bore

there is a metallic plate whose function is to

serve as the surface which is connected by the magnet

to any metallic surface. Photograph No. 11 (S)

Detonators - The detonators are of the

percussion type and apparently are activated by an

electric current.

They have an approximate length(s)
