EXAMPLE 1
The following illustrates the manufacture of a con
tainer for the propellant charge of a tube weapon which
is completely combustible upon discharge of the
weapon.
Apparatus similar to that of FIG. 1 is used containing
a forming shape known from prior work to be suitable
for the production of a cylinder 700 mm. long and 140 20
mm. in outside diameter. The apparatus is closed. The
forming shape is provided with vacuum and is rotated at
