- Discussion about who is responsible for the unexploded bombs
- naive words in 1939: "Unexploded bombs are considered the responsibility of the Home Office, who are agreed that they should be collected by A.R.P. wardens and police and delivered to convenient dumps, where members of the armed forces will in due course detonate them."
- A bomb is a combination of the following parts:
1. A container of bomb case
2. A fuze
3. An initiating charge, or gaine
4. A main charge of high explosive
5. Superstructional fittings- fins, lifting lugs, kopfrings, etc. - The problem: 2 kinds of bombs: First Kind: the ones that get thrown down and explode. 2nd kind: the ones that get thrown down and lie there until something touches it and makes is explode
- The second kind of bomb is the problem that Singh is trying to remove. He looks for those kinds of bombs and tries to make the area safe by defusing them.
- Conversation during the drive to the chalk horse
- Stop for tea
