8-ounce Mk1 incendiary bomb

[sgdbdr]

Hi,

Just found this in "The Ordnance Sergeant" vol. 2 no. 2 from August 1941.
(The file was downloaded from the archive directory of https://www.smallarmsreview.com/ . Pay a visit, there are hundreds of docs...)

8-ounce Mk1 incendiary bomb and it's cluster used by the allies duringWW1
Bomb is 8-inch long, 1-inch in diameter, and contains a 12gauge shot gun shell filled with Thermit

Who made those bomb(let)s ? What's the name of the cluster ?
Does someone has better pictures and maybe some more precise documentation ?



Regards,

S.
