A small copper or aluminium tube, sealed at one end, containing a flashing mixture... The heating effect of an electric current flowing through a bridge-wire ignites the flash composition and fires the detonator which in turn sets off the explosive charge in the shothole. 4, record 1, English, - electric%20detonator

Les capsules détonatrices connectées directement aux allumeurs électriques sont appelées détonateurs électriques instantanés. En fonction du temps d'action de l'allumeur électrique sur l'explosif d'amorçage primaire, les détonateurs électriques peuvent être classés en détonateurs électriques instantanés, et en détonateurs électriques à retard et à court retard [...] Ces dernières années, [...] on a commencé à utiliser des détonateurs électriques à court retard assurant un intervalle entre les explosions de plusieurs dizaines ou centaines de secondes. 3, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9tonateur%20%C3%A9lectrique%20%C3%A0%20microretard

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
[The plain detonator] consists of an aluminum tube closed at one end and partly filled with a sensitive initiating explosive. The tube is only partially filled because a plain detonator is always used in conjunction with a safety fuse, and the empty space enables the fuse to be inserted into the tube until it comes into contact with the detonating composition. The safety fuse is then secured in position by indenting the detonator tube, this process being known as crimping. The combination of safety fuse and plain detonator is called a capped fuse. 3, record 4, English, - capped%20fuse

Le détonateur à capsule (...) allumé à la mèche de sécurité, consiste en un cylindre de cuivre ou d'aluminium, long de 1 1/4" à 1 7/8" et d'un diamètre de 1/4" rempli au tiers de sa longueur de fulminate de mercure ou d'un mélange contenant du chlorate de potassium. L'espace vide de la capsule est destiné à l'insertion de la mèche de sécurité. L'allumage du fulminate produit un choc amplement suffisant pour "détoner" la charge explosive. Pour placer la mèche dans la capsule, on se sert d'une pince spéciale à sertir (crimper), de manière à obtenir un serrage suffisant pour maintenir la mèche dans la position requise. 1, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9tonateur%20%C3%A0%20capsule
