Hi Guys,
some time ago, I had purchased the Australian booklet with
the title "GRENADE-TRAINING by recreatinal Methods" by
Pat Hanna, Melbourne.
If You check the booklet, quite a part deals with improvised
Grenades / Molotov´s / Petrol-Bombs:
- see especially pages 10.pdf , 11.pdf, 12.pdf and 13.pdf
What caught my attraction is the on page 10/Paragraph 3/Petrol Bomb
described "PAT-HANNA-Ignition-Fuses which can be obtained through Defence".
Does anyboby know more Details or has some-one more detailed schematic-drawings
as below shown? We are talking about a pull-friction-fuze with time-fuze and most
recently a Detonator attached. Which material / pull-fuzes / time-fuze ans Detonator
had been used ...?
Interesting the Statement that 10% less casulties among the throwers were reported,
see alsopage 10/Paragraph 3/Petrol Bomb

What I did find our so far is:
1.) who´s Pat Hanna / Invention of Fuze for Petrol Bomb
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Hanna
see in the link´s explaination under the chapter "Later Life", that the
Invention of an "Detonation device for a Petrol grenade" is mentioned !
Thank You for Your Support!
Cheers,
Ralf
