PREFACE
This volume is a continuation
of efforts to cover comprehensively
the subject
matter, in the same manner & format, as in Vol I. The user is urged to read both

the cooperation
of many individuals.

consulted or who have helped in other ways would be impractical.
Mr Henry A.

the field of propellants
& explosives,
contributed
significant
y by collecting
some
references,

discussions
in other areas. Mr George D. Clift, formerly of P icatinny
& of the
Army Chemical Center, Edgewood, Md reviewed the pencil copy, made some sug-
gestions for revision,
and typed the complete copy of this manuscript.
It is with
deep sorrow & sad regret that we record here the death of George D. Clift on
13 August 1962, after 45 years of experience
in the field of propellants
& explo-
sives
