A Curious Observation during the Burning of Bulk Whistle Composition

L. Weinman, C. Dayton, and K. Lemon

Abstract: As is common in pyrotechnic manufacturing operations, occasionally excess or sub-standard compositions need to be destroyed. This is usually, but not always, done by burning the composition. Recently, in the course of burning several pounds of excess potassium perchlorate-potassium benzoate whistle mix, a curious noise was produced.
