Charging Shed Number 1.
It was proposed to charge shells with the agent N.C in charging shed 1. The necessary machines and ancillary plant were on order. Plans had also been made to receive and store N.C in bulk at Chittening. At the time of the Armistice none of the above had come to fruition.
What was N.C.? Not absolutely sure. It was said to be a substitute for P.S. N.C may have been a combination of P.S and K.J.?
K.J. Stannic chloride, a clear liquid that fumes on contact with air. Severe irritant and burn causing agent.
P.S. (Port Sunlight) Chloropicrin, oily, clear or slightly yellow liquid, but a brown colour in the commercial state. Powerful irritant. This agent may have been supplied by H.M. Explosives Factory, Ellesmere Port.
If you have any information or comments on the above please send it to this page.
Thank you,
