U.S. Marines and Navy Seabees build mine detonator. A mine detonator built on an M-4 General Sherman tank by U.S. Marines and Navy Seabees flails its way successfully through Japanese mine-field and booby-trapped roads. This anti-mine device built from scrap was designed, fabricated and tested by men of the two services. It consists of two revolving drums to which are attached heavy chain flails, a driving mechanism, a supporting frame and a mechanism for raising and lowering the flails. NI 6552
