(7) Where illuminating gas is used in a room which is vacant at night, shut the windows tightly, turn on the gas, and leave a candle burning in the room, closing the door tightly behind you.
(7) Dove viene utilizzato il gas illuminante in una stanza che è vuota di notte, chiudere bene le finestre, aprire il gas e lasciare una candela accesa nella stanza, chiudendo bene la porta dietro di sé.
After a time, the gas will explode, and a fire may or may not follow.
Dopo un po', il gas esploderà, e potrebbe o meno scoppiare un incendio.
(b) _Water and miscellaneous_
(b) _Acqua e varie_
(1) Ruin warehouse stock by setting the automatic sprinkler system to work.
(1) Rovinare le merci in magazzino attivando il sistema automatico di irrigazione.
You can do this by tapping the sprinkler heads sharply with a hammer or by holding a match under them.
Lo si può fare colpendo con forza le testine degli sprinkler con un martello o tenendo un fiammifero acceso sotto di esse.
(2) Forget to provide paper in toilets; put tightly rolled paper, hair, and other obstructions in the W. C.
(2) Dimenticarsi di fornire carta nei bagni; mettere carta arrotolata strettamente, capelli e altri ostruttori nel W. C.
Saturate a sponge with a thick starch or sugar solution.
Saturare una spugna con una soluzione densa di amido o zucchero.
Squeeze it tightly into a ball, wrap it with string, and dry.
Stringerla strettamente a forma di palla, avvolgerla con dello spago e farla asciugare.
Remove the string when fully dried.
Rimuovere lo spago quando è completamente asciutta.
The sponge will be in the form of a tight hard ball.
La spugna sarà in forma di una palla dura e compatta.
Flush down a W. C. or otherwise introduce into a sewer line.
Scaricarla nel W. C. o introdurla altrimenti in una conduttura fognaria.
The sponge will gradually expand to its normal size and plug the sewage system.
La spugna si espanderà gradualmente fino alle sue dimensioni normali e intaserà il sistema fognario.
(3) Put a coin beneath a bulb in a public building during the daytime, so that fuses will blow out when lights are turned on at night.
(3) Mettere una moneta sotto una lampadina in un edificio pubblico durante il giorno, in modo che i fusibili saltino quando le luci vengono accese di notte.
The fuses themselves may be rendered ineffective by putting a coin behind them or loading them with heavy wire.
I fusibili stessi possono essere resi inefficaci mettendo una moneta dietro di essi o caricandoli con un filo pesante.
Then a short-circuit may either start a fire, damage transformers, or blow out a central fuse which will interrupt distribution of electricity to a large area.
Quindi un cortocircuito potrebbe sia provocare un incendio, danneggiare i trasformatori, o far saltare un fusibile centrale che interromperà la distribuzione dell'elettricità in una vasta area.
