The British employ four sizes and types of depth boobs: (a ) 100 lb . Marks I, II. HI . iv and VI (*) 250 lb . Marks I, II. III and IV. ( c ) 500 lb . Marks I, II. III and IV. (d ) 600 lb . Mark I. 2. Service depth bombs are ordinarily fuzed In the tall only, although earlier models, now obsolescent, employ only nose fuzes. In rare cases, both nose and ta ll fuzes may be encountered. Two methods are employed to obtain depth firing: (a) Delay firing detonators and powder trains. (b) Hydrostatic fuzes. >. All service depth bombs are painted dark green overall although earlier models are painted yellow. A 1" light green band Is painted around the nose just abaft an 0'.'5 red band. k. The bomb cases arc either cylindrical with round ends or tear-drop shaped, and are fitted with the standard British single suspension lug on the top center line. The 600 lb. Mark I may also be fitted with double suspension lugs for use with U. S. aircraft. 5. The tall sections for these bombs consist of a cone fitted with four fin s mounted r a d ia lly a t 90° to each other and enclosed In a cylindri­ cal shroud. On these

Dr. von Karman gathered about him a group of Ameri­ can scientists from every field of research having a bearing on air power. These men then analyzed im­ portant developments in the basic sciences, both here and abroad, and attempted to evaluate the effects of their application to air power.

The project is designed to provide significant additional energy interconnection between Ireland, the UK and continental Europe with the aim of delivering increased security of supply, fuel diversity and greater competition. It is also designed to provide additional transmission network capacities, reinforcing the existing electricity grids in south-east Ireland and south Wales. The study area is approximately 160km in length and spans the St George’s Channel, including areas of landfall in Ireland and Wales. Its westernmost section intercepts the Hook Peninsula in County Wexford and the easternmost section incorporates an area of land surrounding Freshwater West Beach in Pembrokeshire.
