Th e largest crater capacity in each case is doublv urderscored --
lik e this -- and pertains to norral - type explosives and to
san dy soil .
Th e delaYs assumed for SC jU ,
SC 250 , and SC 50G bombs were
0 .
08 secon d ; for SC 1000 an d SC 2000 bomb s these delays were 0 .
12
of a second .
However ,
the acceleration fuse inserted in the bomb
i nited sooner upon impact on coverer3 ground .
Th e crater measuremente
of the t®o l ar e bambs -- SC 1000 and SC 2000 - could therefore be
compared with those produced by smaller aliber bombs that were
