And nitric acld, made from ammonia, is essential in the making of uitrocellulose or gun cotton. * . * Other explosives which stem from ammonia via the nitric acid route include TNT, nitroglycerine, picric acid, and fulminate of mer- cury for detonators, Outside the field of explosives, ammonia serves the war for use in armor plate, tanks, guns ete. !
