Simple Sabotage Field Manual — Page 12
Use a candle and paper, combination, setting it as close as possible to the inflammable material you want to burn:
Usa una combinazione di candela e carta, posizionandola il più vicino possibile al materiale infiammabile che vuoi bruciare:
From a sheet of paper, tear a strip three or four centimeters wide and wrap it around the base of the candle two or three times.
Da un foglio di carta, strappa una striscia larga tre o quattro centimetri e avvolgila attorno alla base della candela due o tre volte.
Twist more sheets of paper into loose ropes and place them around the base of the candle.
Arrotola altri fogli di carta formando corde allentate e disponile attorno alla base della candela.
When the candle flame reaches the encircling strip, it will be ignited and in turn will ignite the surrounding paper.
Quando la fiamma della candela raggiungerà la striscia avvolta attorno ad essa, questa si accenderà e a sua volta darà fuoco alla carta circostante.
The size, heat, and duration of the resulting flame will depend on how much paper you use and how much of it you can cramp in a small space.
Le dimensioni, il calore e la durata della fiamma risultante dipenderanno dalla quantità di carta utilizzata e da quanta ne puoi stipare in uno spazio ristretto.
(2) With a flame of this kind, do not attempt to ignite any but rather inflammable materials, such as cotton sacking.
(2) Con una fiamma di questo tipo, non tentare di dare fuoco ad altro che a materiali piuttosto infiammabili, come il sacchetto di cotone.
To light more resistant materials, use a candle plus tightly rolled or twisted paper which has been soaked in gasoline.
Per incendiare materiali più resistenti, usa una candela insieme a carta arrotolata o attorcigliata ben stretta, precedentemente imbevuta di benzina.
To create a briefer but even hotter flame, put celluloid such as you might find in an old comb, into a nest of plain or saturated paper which is to be fired by a candle.
Per creare una fiamma più breve ma ancora più intensa, metti del celluloide, come quello che potresti trovare in un vecchio pettine, in un nido di carta comune o imbevuta che verrà acceso da una candela.
(3) To make another type of simple fuse, soak one end of a piece of string in grease.
(3) Per realizzare un altro tipo di miccia semplice, immergi un'estremità di un pezzo di spago nel grasso.
Rub a generous pinch of gunpowder over the inch of string where greasy string meets clean string.
Strofina un generoso pizzico di polvere da sparo sul centimetro di spago dove la parte unta incontra quella pulita.
Then ignite the clean end of the string.
Poi accendi l'estremità pulita dello spago.
