Abstract
A device fop detecting liquid incendiaries contained in bottles comprises a flexible cradle, such as a sling of thin rubber sheet (2), mounted between two supports (4); two conductors arranged laterally on the cradle (6), each conductor having a large surface area to thickness ratio; and an electrical circuit including a power source and indication means to provide an indication of the dielectric properties of a bottle placed within the cradle.
