n. Standard tonite, as manufactured in the United States, is an explosive consisting of 52.5 per cent. of pulverulent guncotton and 47.5 per cent. of barium nitrate. These materials are moistened and intimately incorporated under edge-rollers until a uniform paste is produced, which is then formed into cartridges covered with paraffined paper. A specially heavy detonator is required to fire this explosive. Also known as cotton-powder No. 1.n. See the quotation.
