WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.799 Section two of Simple Sabotage Field Manual by the United 2 00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:09.320 States Office of Strategic Services. This LibriVox recording is in 3 00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:14.080 the public domain. Simple Sabotage Field Manual by United States 4 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:21.960 Office of Strategic Services. Section two five Specific suggestions for 5 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.399 simple sabotage. It will not be possible to evaluate the 6 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.320 desirability of simple sabotage in an area without having in mind, 7 00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.520 rather specifically, what individual acts and results are embraced by 8 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.039 the definition of simple sabotage. A listing of specific acts follows, 9 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.640 classified according to types of target. This list is presented 10 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.840 as a growing rather than a complete outline of the 11 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.920 methods of simple sabotage. As new techniques are developed or 12 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:58.880 new fields explored, it will be elaborated and expanded. One buildings, warehouses, barracks, offices, hotels, 13 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.799 and factory buildings are outstanding targets for simple sabotage. They 14 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.280 are extremely susceptible to damage, especially by fire. They offer 15 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.879 opportunities to such untrained people as janitors, charwoman and casual visitors, 16 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.439 and when damaged, they present a relatively large handicap to 17 00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.400 the enemy. A fires can be started wherever there is 18 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:24.799 an accumulation of inflammable material warehouses are obviously the most 19 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.519 promising targets, but incendiary sabotage need not be confined to 20 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:33.280 them alone. One, whenever possible, arrange to have the fire 21 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.560 start after you have gone away. Use a candle in 22 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.920 paper combination, setting it as close as possible to the 23 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.400 inflammable material you want to burn. From a sheet of paper, 24 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.560 tear a strip three or four centimeters wide and wrap 25 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.879 it around the base of the candle. Two or three times, 26 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.239 twist more sheets of paper into loose ropes and place 27 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.879 them around the base of the candle. When the candle 28 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.920 flame reaches the encircling strip, it will be ignited, and 29 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.439 in turn will ignite the surrounding paper. The size, heat, 30 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.079 and duration of the resulting flame will depend on how 31 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.480 much paper you use and how much of it you 32 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.479 can cram into a small space. Two With a flame 33 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.800 of this kind, do not attempt to ignite any but 34 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:17.680 rather inflammable materials such as cotton sacking. To light more 35 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.159 resistant materials, use a candle plus tightly rolled or twist 36 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.000 of paper which has been soaked in gasoline to create 37 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.439 a briefer but even hotter flame. Put celluloid such as 38 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.879 you might find in an old comb into a nest 39 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.520 of plain or saturated paper, which is to be fired 40 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.960 by a candle. Three. To make another type of simple fuse, 41 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.599 soak one end of a piece of string in grease. 42 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.639 Rub a generous pinch of gunpowder over the inch of 43 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.199 string where greasy string meets clean string, Then ignite the 44 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.599 clean end of the string. It will burn slowly without 45 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.080 a flame, in much the same way that a cigarette 46 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.039 burns until it reaches the grease and gunpowder. It will 47 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.400 then flare up suddenly. The grease treated string will then 48 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.919 burn with a flame. The same effect may be achieved 49 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.400 by using matches instead of the grease and gunpowder. Run 50 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.520 the string over the match heads, taking care that the 51 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.719 string is not pressed or knotted. They too will produce 52 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.159 a sudden flame. The advantage of this type of fuse 53 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.120 is that the string burns at a set speed. You 54 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.199 can time your flame by the length and thickness of 55 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.719 the string you choose. Four. Use a fuse such as 56 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.879 the one suggested above to start a fire in an 57 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.639 office after hours. The destruction of records and other types 58 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.680 of documents would be a serious handicap to the enemy. Five. 59 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.599 In basements where waste is kept, Janitors should accumulate oily 60 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.039 and greasy waste. Such waste sometimes ignites spontaneously, but it 61 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.439 can easily be lit with a cigarette or match. If 62 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.840 you are a janitor on night duty, you can be 63 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.840 the first to report the fire, but don't report it 64 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.960 too soon. Six. A clean factory is not susceptible to fire, 65 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.960 but a dirty one is. Workers should be careless with refuse, 66 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.759 and janitors should be inefficient in cleaning. If enough dirt 67 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.080 and trash can be accumulated, then otherwise fireproof building will 68 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.520 become inflammable. Seven. Where illuminating gas is used in a 69 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.360 room which is vacant at night, shut the windows tightly, 70 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.000 turn on the gas, and leave a candle burning in 71 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.399 the room, closing the door tightly behind you. After a time, 72 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.480 the gas will explode, and if fire may or may 73 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:33.720 not follow. B Water and miscellaneous. One ruin warehouse stock 74 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.920 by setting the automatic sprinkler system to work. You can 75 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.160 do this by tapping the sprinkler head sharply with a 76 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.519 hammer or by holding a match under them. Two. Forget 77 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.560 to provide paper in toilets, put tightly rolled paper, hair 78 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.439 and other obstructions in the WC saturate a sponge with 79 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.959 a thick starch or sugar solution, squeeze it tightly into 80 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.319 a ball, wrap it with string, and dry. Remove the string. 81 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.079 When fully dry, the sponge will be in the form 82 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.759 of a tight hard ball. Flush down a WC, or 83 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.639 otherwise introduce into a sewer line. The sponge will gradually 84 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.279 expand to its normal size and plug the sewage system. 85 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.319 Three Put a coin beneath a bulb and a public 86 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.240 building during the daytime so that the fuses will blow 87 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.879 out when the lights are turned on at night. The 88 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.839 fuses themselves may be rendered ineffective by putting a coin 89 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.680 behind them or loading them with heavy wire. Then a 90 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.519 short circuit may either start a fire, damage transformers, or 91 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.319 blow out a central fuse, which will interrupt distribution of 92 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.720 electricity to a large area. Four Jam paper, bits of wood, 93 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.240 hair pins, and anything else that will fit into the 94 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:49.319 locks of all unguarded entrances to public buildings. Two Industrial 95 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.879 production manufacturing a tools. One. Let cutting tools grow dull. 96 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.319 They will be inefficient, will slow down production, and may 97 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.000 damage them materials in parts you use them on. Two 98 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.000 Leave saws slightly twisted when you are not using them. 99 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.519 After a while, they will break when used. Three using 100 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:12.959 a very rapid stroke will wear out a file before 101 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.120 its time. So while dragging a file in slow strokes 102 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.759 under heavy pressure, exert pressure on the backward stroke as 103 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.879 well as the forward stroke. Four clean files by knocking 104 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.519 them against the vice of the workpiece. They are easily 105 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.560 broken this way. Five bits and drills will snap under 106 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.279 heavy pressure. Six. You can put a press punch out 107 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.240 of order by putting in it more material than it 108 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:40.879 is adjusted for two blanks instead of one, for example. Seven. 109 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.600 Power driven tools like pneumatic drills, riveters, and so on 110 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.040 are never efficient when dirty. Lubrication points in electric contacts 111 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.040 can easily be fouled by normal accumulation of dirt or 112 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:57.160 the insertion of foreign matter. B Oil and lubrication systems 113 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.360 are not only vulnerable to easy sabotage, but are critical 114 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.879 in every machine with moving parts. Sabotage of oil and 115 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.600 lubrication will slow production or stop work entirely at strategic 116 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:12.720 points in industrial processes. One put metal dust or filings, 117 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.240 fine sand, ground glass, emery dust. Get it by pounding 118 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.120 up an emery knife, sharpener, and similar hard gritty substances 119 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:27.000 directly into lubrication systems. They will scour smooth surfaces, ruining pistons, 120 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.199 cylinder walls, shafts, and bearings. They will overheat and stop motors, 121 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:36.240 which will need overhauling, new parts and extensive repairs. Such materials, 122 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.360 if they are used, should be introduced into lubrication systems 123 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.680 past any filters which otherwise would strain them out. Two. 124 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.279 You can cause wear on any machine by uncovering a 125 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.959 filter system, poking a pencil or any other sharp object 126 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.519 through the filter mesh, then covering it up again, Or 127 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.800 you can dispose of it quickly simply remove the filter. 128 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.079 Three if you cannot get it, if to lubrication system 129 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.680 or filtered directly. You may be able to lessen the 130 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.879 effectiveness of oil by diluting it in storage. In this case, 131 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.360 almost any liquid will do which will thin the oil. 132 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.800 A small amount of sulfuric acid, varnish water, glass, or 133 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:20.040 linseed oil will be especially effective. Four. Using a thin 134 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.759 oil where a heavy oil is prescribed will break down 135 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.399 a machine or heat up a moving shaft so that 136 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.879 it will freeze and stop. Five. Put any clogging substance 137 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.840 into lubrication systems, or if it will float into stored oil. 138 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.559 Twisted combings of human hair, pieces of string, dead insects, 139 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.799 and many other common objects will be effective in stopping 140 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.600 or hindering the flow of oil through feed lines and filters. Six. 141 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.200 Under some circumstances, you may be able to destroy oil 142 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.159 outright rather than interfere with its effectiveness, by removing stop 143 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.519 plugs from lubricating systems, or by puncturing the drums and 144 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:02.639 cans in which it is stored. C cooling systems. One. 145 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.480 A water cooling system can be put out of commission 146 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.480 in a fairly short time with considerable damage to an 147 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.960 engine or motor. If you put into it several pinches 148 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.000 of hard grain, such as rice or wheat, they will 149 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.679 swell up and choke the circulation of water, and the 150 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.960 cooling system will have to be torn down to remove 151 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.639 the obstruction. Sawdust or hair may also be used to 152 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.960 clog a water cooling system. Two. If very cold water 153 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.120 is quickly introduced into the cooling system of an overheated motor, 154 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.559 contraction and considerable strain on the engine housing will result. 155 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.919 If you can repeat the treatment a few times, cracking 156 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.320 in serious damage will result. Three. You can ruin the 157 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.120 effectiveness of an air cooling system by plugging dirt and 158 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.399 waste into the intake or exhaust valves. If a belt 159 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.120 run fan is used in the system, make a jagged 160 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.200 cut at least halfway through the belt. It will slip 161 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.559 and finally part under strain and the motor will overheat. 162 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.919 D gasol, sine, and oil fuel tanks and fueling engines 163 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.080 usually are accessible and easy to open. They afford a 164 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:10.240 very vulnerable target for simple sabotage activities. One put several 165 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.879 pinches of sawdust or hard grain such as rice or 166 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.200 wheat into the fuel tank of a gasoline engine. The 167 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.679 particles will choke a feed line so that the engine 168 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.720 will stop. Some time will be required to discover the 169 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.840 source of the trouble, although they will be hard to get. 170 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.759 Crumbs of natural rubber, such as you might find in 171 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:32.360 old rubber bands and pencil erasers are also effective. Two. 172 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.320 If you can accumulate sugar, put it in the fuel 173 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.320 tank of a gasoline engine. As it burns together with 174 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.159 the gasoline, it will turn into a sticky mess, which 175 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.559 will completely mire the engine and necessitate extensive cleaning and repair. 176 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.200 Honey and molasses are as good as sugar. Try to 177 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.679 use about seventy five to one hundred grams for each 178 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:56.120 ten gallons of gasoline. Three Other impurities which you can 179 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.080 introduce in the gasoline will cause rapid engine were an 180 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.919 eventual breakdown. Fine particles of pumice, sand, ground glass, and 181 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.279 metal dust can easily be introduced into a gasoline tank. 182 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.799 Be sure that the particles are very fine so that 183 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.039 they will be able to pass through the carburetor. Jet. 184 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.600 Four Water, urine, wine, or any other simple liquid which 185 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.000 you can get in reasonably large quantities will dilute gasoline 186 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.279 fuel to a point where no combustion will occur in 187 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:27.879 the cylinder and the engine will not move. One pint 188 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.399 to twenty gallons of gasoline is sufficient. If salt water 189 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:36.559 is used, it will cause corrosion and permanent motor damage. Five. 190 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.519 In the case of diesel engines, put low flash point 191 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.399 oil into the fuel tank. The engine will not move 192 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.120 if there are already is proper oil in the tank. 193 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.600 When the wrong kind is added, the engine will only 194 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:52.320 limp and sputter along. Six. Fuel lines to gasoline and 195 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.720 oil engines frequently pass over the exhaust pipe when the 196 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.240 machine is at rest. You can stab a small hole 197 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.799 in the fuel line and plug the hole with wax. 198 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.039 As the engine runs and the exhaust tube becomes hot, 199 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.279 the wax will be melted, fuel will drip onto the exhaust, 200 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.759 and a blaze will start. Seven. If you have access 201 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.559 to a room where gasoline is stored, remember that gas 202 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.360 vapor accumulating in a closed room will explode after a 203 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.000 time if you leave a candle burning in the room. 204 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:23.120 A good deal of evaporation, however, must occur from the 205 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.600 gasolene tins into the air of the room. If removal 206 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.720 of the tops of the tins does not expose enough 207 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.000 gasoline to the air to ensure copious evaporation, you can 208 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.320 open lightly constructed tents further with a knife, ice pick, 209 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.120 or sharpened nail file, or puncture a tiny hole in 210 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.440 the tank which will permit gasoline to leak out on 211 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.919 the floor. This will greatly increase the rate of evaporation. 212 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.440 Before you light your candle, be sure that windows are 213 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.679 closed and that the room is as air tight as 214 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.399 you can make it. If you can see that windows 215 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.759 in a neighboring room are opened wide, you have a 216 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.600 chance of setting a large fire which will not only 217 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.759 destroy the gasoline but anything else nearby. When the gasoline explodes, 218 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.200 the doors of the storage room will be blown open. 219 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.200 A draft to the neighboring windows will be created, which 220 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:15.840 will whip up a fine conflagration e Electric motors. Electric motors, 221 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.639 including dynamos, are more restricted than the target so far discussed. 222 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.600 They cannot be sabotaged easily or without risk of injury 223 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:28.120 by unskilled persons who may otherwise have good opportunities for destruction. 224 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.159 One set the rheostat to a high point of resistance 225 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.200 in all types of electric motors, they will overheat and 226 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:38.720 catch fire. Two adjust the overload relay to a very 227 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.000 high value beyond the capacity of the motor. Then overload 228 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.000 the motor to a point where it will overheat and 229 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:48.840 break down. Three. Remember that dust, dirt, and moisture are 230 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.519 enemies of electrical equipment. Spill dust and dirt onto the 231 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.240 points where the wires and electric motors connect with terminals 232 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:59.840 and onto insulating parts. Inefficient transmission of current and as 233 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.799 in some cases, short circuits will result. Wet generator motors 234 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.399 to produce short circuits. Four, Accidentally bruise the insulation on wire, 235 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.799 loosen nuts on connections, make faulty splices, and faulty connections 236 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.879 in wiring to waste electric current and reduce the power 237 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.120 of electric motors the power output, or cause short circuiting 238 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.480 in direct current motors. Loosen or remove commutator holding rings. 239 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:29.679 Sprinkle carbon graphite or metal dust on commutators. Put a 240 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.480 little grease or oil at the contact points of commutators. 241 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.639 Where commutator bars are close together, bridge the gaps between 242 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.360 them with metal dust or saw tooth their edges with 243 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.080 a chisel so that the teeth on adjoining bars meet 244 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.960 or nearly meat, and current can pass from one to 245 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.159 the other. Six Put a piece of finely grained emery 246 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.200 paper half the size of a postage stamp in a 247 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.840 place where we'll wear away rotating brushes. The emery paper 248 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.639 and the motor will be destroyed in the resulting fire. Seven. 249 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.360 Sprinkle carbon graphite or metal dust on slip rings so 250 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.480 the current will leak or short circuits will occur when 251 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.480 a motor is idle. Knick the slip rings with a chisel. Eight. 252 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.960 Cause motor stopage your inefficiency by applying dust mixed with 253 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.120 grease to the face of the armature so that it 254 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.360 will not make proper contact. Nine to overheat electric motors, 255 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.759 mix sand with heavy grease and smear it between the 256 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.399 stater and rotor, or wedge thin metal pieces between them. 257 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.879 To prevent the efficient generation of current, put floor sweepings, 258 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:34.519 oil tar, or paint between them. Ten in motors using 259 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:36.960 three phase current, deeply nick one of the lead in 260 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.080 wires with a knife or file when the machine is 261 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.759 at rest, or replace one of the three fuses with 262 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.799 a blown out fuse. In the first case, the motor 263 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.120 will stop after running a while, and in the second 264 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:53.440 it will not start. F transformers. One transformers of the 265 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.480 oil filled type can be put out of commission if 266 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.240 you pour water salt into the oil tank. Two in 267 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.679 air cool trains block the ventilation by piling debris around 268 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:07.320 the transformer. Three in all types of transformers throw carbon, 269 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.080 graphite or metal dust over the outside bushings and other 270 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:15.279 exposed electrical parts. G turbines, for the most part, are 271 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.919 heavily built, stoutly housed, and difficult to access. Their vulnerability 272 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:24.639 to simple sabotage is very low. One after inspecting or 273 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.360 repairing a hydro turbine, fasten the cover insecurely so that 274 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.320 it will blow off and flood the plant with water. 275 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.519 A loose cover on a steam turbine will cause it 276 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.960 to leak and slow down. Two. In water turbines, insert 277 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:39.799 a large piece of scrap iron in the head of 278 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.840 the pen stock just beyond the screening, so that water 279 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.080 will carry the damaging material down to the plant equipment. Three. 280 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.879 When the steam line to a turbine is open for repair, 281 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.120 put pieces of scrap iron into it to be blasted 282 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.759 into the turbine machinery when the steam is up again. Four, 283 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.159 Create a leak in the line feeding oil to the 284 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.799 turbine so that oil will fall in the hot steam 285 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:07.319 pipe and cause a fire. H boilers. One. Reduce the 286 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.720 efficiency of steam boilers any way. You can put too 287 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.039 much water in them to make them slow starting, or 288 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.519 keep the fire under them low to keep them inefficient. 289 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.559 Let them run dry and turn the fire up. They 290 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.119 will crack and be ruined. An especially good trick is 291 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.960 to keep putting limestone or water containing lime in the boiler. 292 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.400 It will deposit lime on the bottom and sides. This 293 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:32.680 deposit will provide very good insulation against heat. After enough 294 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.720 of it has collected, the boiler will be completely worthless. 295 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:43.839 Three production metals a iron and steel. One keep blast 296 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.319 furnaces in a condition where they must be frequently shut 297 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.640 down for repair. In making fireproof bricks. For the inner 298 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.640 lining of blast furnaces, put in an extra proportion of 299 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.599 tar so that they will wear out quickly and necessitate 300 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.599 constant relining. Two. Make cores for casting so that they 301 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.880 are filled with air bubbles and an imperfect cast results. Three. 302 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.640 See that the core in a mold is not properly supported, 303 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.799 so that the core gives way or the casting is 304 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.279 spoiled because of the incorrect position of the core. Four. 305 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:16.039 In tempering steel or iron, apply too much heat so 306 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.519 that the resulting bars and ingots are of poor quality. 307 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:26.279 B other metals no suggestions available. Four. Production mining and 308 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:32.079 mineral extraction a coal One. A slight blow against your 309 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.079 davy oil lamp will extinguish it, and to light it 310 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:36.960 again you will have to find the place where there 311 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.079 is no fire damp. Take a long time looking for 312 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.519 a place. Two. Blacksmiths who make pneumatic picks should not 313 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.640 harden them properly, so that they will quickly grow dull. 314 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.559 Three You can easily put your pneumatic pick out of order, 315 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.200 pour a small amount of water through the oil lever, 316 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.319 and your pick will stop working. Coal dust and improper 317 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.599 lubrication will also put it out of order. Four weaken 318 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.759 the chain that pulls the bucket conveyors carrying coal. A 319 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:06.559 deep den in the chain made with blows of a 320 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.000 pick or shovel will cause it to part under normal strain. 321 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.799 Once a chain breaks normally or otherwise, take your time 322 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.039 about reporting the damage. Be slow about taking the chain 323 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.920 up for repairs and bringing it back down after repairs. 324 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.400 Five derail mine cars by putting obstructions on the rails 325 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.279 and in switch points. If possible, pick a gallery where 326 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:29.680 coal cars have to pass each other so that traffic 327 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.799 will be snarled up. Six send up quantities of rock 328 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:39.640 and other useless material with the coal. Five Production agriculture 329 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:46.240 a machinery one see paragraph five B two C, D, 330 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:51.119 e B. Crops in live stock probably will be destroyed 331 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.119 only in places where there are large food surpluses or 332 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.599 where the enemy regime is known to be requisitioning food. 333 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.279 One fee crops to livestock, let crops harvest too early 334 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.240 or too late. Spoil stores of grain, fruit and vegetables 335 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.640 by soaking them in water so that they will rot. 336 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.000 Spoil fruit and vegetables by leaving them in the sun. 337 00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:20.440 Six Transportation railways A passengers. One, make train travel as 338 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:24.559 inconvenient as possible for enemy personnel. Make mistakes in issuing 339 00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:27.319 train tickets, leaving portions of the journey uncovered by the 340 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.240 ticket book. Issue two tickets for the same seat in 341 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.079 the train, so that an interesting argument will result near 342 00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:37.079 train time. Instead of issuing printed tickets, write them out 343 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.400 slowly by hand, prolonging the process until a train is 344 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.559 nearly ready to leave or is left the station. On 345 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.279 station bulletin boards announcing train arrivals and departures, see that 346 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.079 false and misleading information is given about train bounds for 347 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:55.599 enemy destinations. Two. In trains bound for enemy destinations, attendant 348 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.519 should make life as uncomfortable as possible for passengers. See 349 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.240 that the food it is especially bad. Take up tickets 350 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.039 after midnight. Call all station stops very loudly during the night. 351 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.400 Handle baggage as noisily as possible during the night, and 352 00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:13.519 so on. Three. See that the luggage of enemy personnel 353 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.799 is mislaid or unloaded at the wrong stations. Switch address 354 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.680 labels on enemy baggage. Four. Engineers should see that trains 355 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:27.440 run slow or make unscheduled stops for plausible reasons. B 356 00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:33.200 switches signals in routing. One Exchange wires and switchboards containing 357 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.720 signals and switches so that they connect to the wrong terminals. Two. 358 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.880 Loosen push rods so that signal arms do not work. 359 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.559 Break signal lights. Exchange the colored lenses on red and 360 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:48.960 green lights. Three spread and spikes switch points in the 361 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.680 track so that they will not move or place rocks 362 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.880 or close packed dirt between the switch points. Four. Sprinkle 363 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.319 rock salt or ordinary salt profusely over the electrical connections 364 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.039 of switch points and on the ground nearby. When it rains, 365 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.279 the switch will be short circuited. Five. See that cars 366 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.039 are put on the wrong trains. Remove the labels from 367 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:12.920 cars needing repair and put them on cars in good order. 368 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:17.680 Leave couplings between the cars as loose as possible.
