Armament 2 in infantry mortars of British pattern. Development Based upon the British `bomb, Smoke, ML 2 in Mortar'. Description Of similar shape to the HE bomb, the body is a thin steel tube, the head end of which is closed by a brazed-on cap and the rear end by a perforated alloy plug to which the six-fin steel tail unit is screwed. The perforations are covered internally by a waterproof membrane. The body is filled with hexachloroethane/zinc smoke composition. At the rear end of the filling is an ignition
pellet and a delay composition. On firing, the flash from the propelling cartridge passes through the perforations in the rear body cap and ignites the delay composition. After a short delay the ignition pellet is fired and this, in turn, ignites the HCE smoke composition during the final stage of the bomb's flight. Smoke emission commences and after the bomb strikes the ground continues, via the holes in the rear body cap, for about 2 minutes. Manufacturer Indian Ordnance Factory Board, 10A Auckland Road, Calcutta.
