@X084@X05.@X0841 @X03 PAPER CONTAINERS
@X08Paper was the first container ever used for explosives@X05,@X08 since it was
first used by the Chinese to make fireworks@X05.@X08 Paper containers are usually very
simple to make@X05,@X08 and are certainly the cheapest@X05.@X08 There are many possible uses
for paper in containing explosives@X05,@X08 and the two most obvious are in firecrackers
and rocket engines@X05.@X08 Simply by rolling up a long sheet of paper@X05,@X08 and gluing it
together@X05,@X08 one can make a simple rocket engine@X05.@X08 Perhaps a more interesting and
dangerous use is in the firecracker@X05.@X08 The firecracker shown here is one of
Mexican design@X05.@X08 It is called a @X05"@X08paloma@X05"@X08@X05,@X08 meaning @X05"@X08dove@X05"@X08@X05.@X08 The process of their
manufacture is not unlike that of making a paper football@X05.@X08 If one takes a sheet
of paper about 16 inches in length by 1@X05.@X085 inches wide@X05,@X08 and fold one corner so
that it looks like this@X05:@X08

@X08and then fold it again so that it looks like this@X05:@X08

@X08A pocket is formed@X05.@X08 This pocket can be filled with black powder@X05,@X08 pyrodex@X05,@X08
flash powder@X05,@X08 gunpowder@X05,@X08rocket engine powder@X05,@X08 or any of the quick@X05-@X08burning fuel@X05-@X08
oxodizer mixtures that occur in the form of a fine powder@X05.@X08 A fuse is then
inserted@X05,@X08 and one continues the triangular folds@X05,@X08 being careful not to spill
out any of the explosive@X05.@X08 When the paloma is finished@X05,@X08 it should be taped
together very tightly@X05,@X08 since this will increase the strength of the container@X05,@X08
and produce a louder and more powerful explosion when it is lit@X05.@X08 The finished
polumna should look like a 1@X05/@X084 inch @X05-@X08 1@X05/@X083 inch thick triangle@X05,@X08 like the one
shown below@X05:@X08
