| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential benefits of using dynamite in golf course construction. States that "no matter how difficult it may be to get men, explosives are always available and the demand for increased amounts can be quickly supplied for the job. A saving in Man Power is a saving in money." Defines explosives as "solids or liquids which can be changed instantaneously by a spark, great heat or powerful shock into gases having many times the volume of the explosives in their original form." Compares blasting powder and dynamite, explaining that dynaminte differs from blasting powder in that it is more powerful, detonates with much greater rapidity, and has a greater shattering effect. The most important properties which contribute to the effect of dynamite are strength or disruptive power and quickness or shattering power." Offers suggestions for removing tree stumps with explosives. |
