0 a type of explosive, especially used in bullets
A dense black smoke was seen in the starboard battery, whether from coal or torpedo cordite I could not say.
One could hear, between the thunder of the big bombs, the dull report of exploding cordite.
Some cordite cartridges were lying outside of it and these went off with a great flare.
The Turkish snipers were still busy, and the sharp crack of cordite echoed from scores of different hiding-places along the hills.
There is a loud report, the click of a bolt, and the pungent smell of burnt cordite.
I maintain that you cannot compare the wages of a man who works in those cordite works with the wages of the ordinary agricultural labourer.
The working cost has been £14,846,697, and the value of the cordite produced £16,690,246.
The cordite stored in them is reported to be in a serviceable condition.
