Nos. 3–6 are large empty holes. The detonator segments 1-2, 7-8, and 9–14 are, respectively, MS1, MS9, and HS2. The detonator segments from 15 to 18 are HS3, 19 to 22 are HS5, 23 to 26 are HS6, 27 to 29 are HS7, and 30 to 32 are HS8. The detonator segments of 33∼43 are HS9, while those of 44∼47 are HS10.
