✦ Synopsis

Data thought to support Shchelkin's suggestion that detonation of condensed explosives may be of similar nature to that of gaseous detonation are discussed, with particular reference to nitromethane either alone or in admixture with acetone. The passage of inhomogeneities from narrow tubes into broader ones is described and some attention given to the material containing the test mixture, and to the nature of its inner surface. A mathematical appendix is included dealing with Shchelkin's criterion.
