Mills bomb rifle grenade by attaching a metallic rod to its base. This rod-type rifle-grenade had an effective range of about 150 yards. The operating procedure was to insert the Mills bomb rod down the barrel of a standard rifle, put a special blank cartridge in the rifle's chamber, place the rifle stock on the ground, then pull the Mills bomb's safety pin, releasing the safety spoon and immediately fire the rifle. If the soldier did not launch the grenade quickly, the grenade's fuse would time out and explode. The British soon developed a simple cradle attached to the rifle's bayonet lug
Interstate 70 in Missouri is a large interchange with Route 9 in the Loop's northeastern corner. At that corner, US 24 splits to the east, I-29 ends, and US 71 joins. Once it leaves I-35, I-70 turns south, with interchanges to more roads. At the southeastern corner, I-70, US 40, US 71 all exit the Loop. I-70 and US 40 split off to the east, and US 71 continues south. I-670 ends at the alignment. Not long after they usurpt that alignment, I-70/US 40 turn southeast. US 40 departs from I-70 at exit 7A. I-70 then interchanges with I-435, the beltway around Kansas City.
