Default Re: Polish OOB question

Here's a further badly machine translated explanation of the weapon. Ten 1 kg bombs per "package" and it looks like 12 "packages" were carried but IDK for certain. If Blazej Ciepluch sees this perhaps he can dig up the polish sites he provided me with a couple years back. It *may* be this was either only used in very small numbers or never made it to production at all but it's a moot point really as there weren't many aircraft capable of carrying them after the first few days

It was constructed by the master as a successor to Nicholas Tarnowski poniemieckiej mouse No. 2 Mouse wz. 34 was designed with the understanding that, if necessary, will be manufactured in small factories mechanical. Therefore, construction of the bombs was based on a section of gas pipe with a diameter of 1 inch. One end of metal pipe wspawywano bottom, and then zawalcowywano fin with three brzechwami. The other end was threaded pipe. After topionym trotyl elaboracji bombs or acid pikrynowym thread covered kitem kaolinowym (elaborowane trotyl bombs) or kitem kauczukowym (pikrynowym bombs elaborowane acid) and a simple screw igniter with a striking immediately.
