PREFACE. This volume represents a continuing effort to cover comprehensively the unclassified information on explosives and related subjects in the same manner and format as in previous volumes. The reader is urged to obtain the previous volumes and to read both the PREFACE and INTRODUCTION in Volume I in order to understand the authors' way of presenting the subject matter. In preparation for and during the writing of this Encyclopedia, the au thors have consulted freely with and have had the cooperation of many individuals who contributed their expert knowledge and ad vice. This fact is acknowledged throughout the text at the end of the subject item. A listing of many others who have helped in various ways would be impractical. DrsJ. Roth, A. P. Hardt and S. Greenberg of the private sector, Dr D. H. Rosenblatt of the US Army Medical Bioengineering Research and Development Laboratory, Fort Detrick, Md, as weil as Dr E. E. Gilbert and Messrs S. Helf, L.

Further financial support was received from the sale of volumes to non-govemment agencies and individuals by the National Technical Information Service, US Department of Commerce, Springfield, Va 22161. Although considerable effort has been made to present this information as accurately as possible, mistakes and errors in transcription and translation do occur. Therefore, the authors encourage readers to consul! original sources, when possible, and to fee! free to point out errors and omissions of important work so that corrections and additions can be listed in the next volume.
