a “junk™ pile or source Of waste material. These “juni metal: fragments are old, used and rusty. They are the type which might accumulate in a home over a long period of time. Also among the metal fragments were rusty sheet metal fragments and one rusty fragment in specimen Q2 was fabricated like the rim portion of a can or bucket. This piece was too fragmentary to determine the size of the bucket or can. The sheet metal fragments, with the exception of the sheet metal of Q10, are ali of the same approximate gauge as the metal of the rusty rim of specimen 02. It is possible that the rusty rin fragment and the rusty sheet metal fragments represent a bucket or can which held the explosive and shrapnel pieces. Specimen Q10 is a fragmentary rusty can. Originally this can was approximately 4 3/8" high and approximately 3 1/2" in diameter, based on the metal now present. A can of this size could not have held the shrapnel submitted. It is pointed out that this G10 can does not exhibit the high degree of fragmentation as exhibited by the heavier gauge sheet metal fragments and rim fragment referred to above. No solid identifiable explosive residues were recovered from the paper fragments of Q6. Many of these Q6 fragments are part of a container for "Barber's Lemon Ice Milk" | The greenish paper affixed to the piece of wire cee] designated as Q17 is packaging tape. Tape of this nature has. m4 anong its uses the sealing of plastic bags of fruits and i vezetables at grocery stores as well as wrapping of mechanical items, The origin of this' paper could not be determined. The ends of the piece of coat hanger, Q17, have been cut with a pinching tool such as diagonal cutting pliers or electricians pliers. The marks are of value for identification of the specific tool used. The shape of the coat hanger fragment suggests that this may have been employed as a handle or hanger for the bomb package, A piece of small diameter pipe among the submitted metal fragments possesses toolmarks of limited value for identification purposes, These marks were produced by a pipe wrench and possibly a chisel, both of undetermined size.
