The upper end of the tube is empty,for the insertion of the fuze, and is closed by a small paper detonators are packed in tin sealed cylinders paintedred, which contain 25. A new pattern No. 8, with a shortshank, will shortly be introduced. No. 8 detonator will detonate dry guncotton, but it will notdetonate wet guncotton or cordite without a primer. Bothsafety and instantaneous fuze can be connected to it. Where dynamite is obtained a smaller kind of detonator Com-used in civil works will often be available and should be used in mei-ciaipreference to No 8 detonators as being more economical. *^^^^^This is the commercial cap, which is made of copper, andcontains less fulminate than the No. 8 service detonator, seeFig. 9, PI. 68. These caps vary slightly
