- In Aerotech and ISP RMS motors the ejection charge is a small amount of black
- powder which is poured in an opening in the "front" of the motor. The
- delay grain and some O-rings prevent the charge from getting into the rest
- of the motor. The opening is covered with a piece of tape or a small paper
- disk which comes with the reload (and has the reload type and delay typed
- on it) or, in the case of Aerotech motors, a small plastic cap covers the
- opening.
