Trap for Incendiary Bombs Smothers Their Fire
Item
Incendiary bombs can be robbed of some of their destructive power by using a long-handled scoop, invented by Dr. Nathan Mininberg of New York City, which works like a mouse-trap in snaring and extinguishing a bomb. The handle is made in three sections, and when assembled it permits an air-raid warden to handle bombs from a safe distance of 25 feet. He simply scoops the bomb in shovel fashion, and as the bomb strikes a release at the rear of the trap, a door springs shut, smothering the blaze within the asbestos-lined chamber.
