Describes a more efficient way of recovering bomb fragments in experiments, by means of a magnetic separator. This attachment is an automatic sieve which removes the larger fragments and also maintains a steady flow of sawdust into the separator. The operation, before the introduction of this sieve, is described in [SZ/OEMU/31/1/9]. The effectiveness of the sieve is described here, tables are included as well as half-tone illustrations of bomb fragments.
