Description: | This is a blasting cartridge used in the mining industry to break rock and coal. Holes are bored deep into the rock and cartridges inserted. They are then ignited with fuses. This process is called shot-firing. This is a replica cartridge. It has been sectioned to show how it is filled with explosive and how the fuse connects to it. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.science&industry.481236 | Go to resource |
