We have seen, in treating of safes and locks, how burglars keep pace with the latest inventions to protect property by the use of dynamite and nitro-glycerine explosions. 威廉·亨利·杜利特.世纪发明.
This was followed by the discovery of nitro-glycerine, a still more powerful explosive agent--too powerful and uncontrollable for guns as originally made. 威廉·亨利·杜利特.世纪发明.
In 1846 a new and distinct development in explosives was made in the discovery of gun cotton by Sch?nbein, and of nitro-glycerine in 1847 by Sobrero. Edward W. Byrn.十九世纪发明进展.
Nitro-glycerine only differs in its manufacture from gun cotton in that glycerine is acted upon by the acids, instead of cotton. Edward W. Byrn.十九世纪发明进展.
Nitro-glycerine is made in a somewhat similar way by treating glycerine with nitric and sulphuric acids. Edward W. Byrn.十九世纪发明进展.
