cordtex fuze box
- Thread starter kiwieod
- Start date
I don't know why but I'm thinking earlier date
Dave, That date will be fine.
These Case Wooden Packages (CWP) Trade packs were used because because operational holdings, which as I recall were packed in a M340 containing 2 x 500' reels in hat boxes (STO cylinders) were being used needlessly for demolitions of unserviceable ammunition on demolition grounds and ranges, rather than for operational requirements.
These trade packs with 4 x 500' reels, very simply packed were purchased to prevent the unnecessary use of expensively packaged cordtex.
I used plenty.

I first changed from the M340 to the CWP Trade Pack in 1959 at my depot and I think this was the first time they were purchased.
They have been obtained from trade when required ever since. Cordtex is readily available from trade because it is extensively used in mining.
There are other types such as Geoflex which is used in seismology and Aquaflex which is used in deep sea oil/gas drilling. Both of these have a greater explosive core and different outer to absorb extreme pressures.
