~Cordite~, the smokeless powder adopted by the British Government, is thepatent of the late Sir F. A. Abel and Sir James Dewar, and is somewhatsimilar to blasting gelatine. It is chiefly manufactured at the RoyalGunpowder Factory at Waltham Abbey, but also at two or three privatefactories, including those of the National Explosives Company Limited, theNew Explosives Company Limited, the Cotton-Powder Company Limited, Messr...sKynock's, &c. As first manufactured it consisted of gun-cotton 37 percent. , nitro-glycerine 58 per cent. , and vaseline 5 per cent. , but themodified cordite now made consists of 65 per cent. Gun-cotton, 30 percent. Of nitro-glycerine, and 5 per cent. Of vaseline. The gun-cotton usedis composed chiefly of the hexa-nitrate, [A] which is not soluble in nitro-glycerine. It is therefore necessary to use some solvent such as acetone, in order to form the jelly with nitro-glycerine. The process ofmanufacture of cordite is very similar, as far as the chemical part of theprocess is concerned, to that of blasting gelatine, with the exceptionthat some solvent for the gun-cotton, other than nitro-glycerine has to beused.
