auxiliary release unit uses one cartridge that opens the hooks only. Nose and tail arming solenoids are used with mechanical fuzing.    The Mk 39 electric fuzing receptacle is used for electric fuzing. The bomb rack is interchangeable with the centerline. or the inboard and outboard pylons. BRU-33/A AND BRU-33A/A VERTICAL EJECTOR RACK The BRU-33 vertical ejector rack (VER) (fig. 10-20) is suspended by the BRU-32/A bomb rack. It provides side-by-side and canted side-by-side carriage and release of two 14-inch suspension stores, ranging from 10- to 16-inches in diameter and weighing up to 1,000 pounds. The ejector racks provide automatic swaybracing through the use of spring loaded, self-adjusting wedges. The safety interlock is electrically controlled by the aircraft and mechanically prevents accidental opening of the suspension hooks. Sensing switches are incorporated to indicate to the SMP that a store is loaded. The rack has provisions for mechanical and electric fuzing. The ejection unit uses two cartridges to generate the required gas pressure for rack operations. A1. A2. A3. A4. A5. A6. A7. A8. Figure 10-20.—BRU-33/A bomb ejector rack. For further information concerning the BRU-33 vertical ejector rack, refer to the publication AW-382AC-750-010, Vertical Ejector Rack Assembly BRU-33/A and BRU-33A/A, A/A37B-6E MULTIPLE EJECTOR RACK (MER) AND A/A37B-5E TRIPLE EJECTOR RACK (TER) The A/A37B-6E multiple ejector rack (MER) (fig. 10-21) and the A/A37B-5E triple ejector rack REVIEW NUMBER 2 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q1. THROUGH Q8. Aero 7A-5 and 7B-4 bomb ejector racks are mounted on all models of the A-6 aircraft. There are four separate pairs of suspension hooks on the Aero 7A-5 bomb ejector rack—two pairs for 14-inch suspensions and two pairs for 30-inch suspensions. The maximum store capacity of the 14-inch suspension rack is 1,500 pounds and 3,500 pounds for the 30-inch suspension rack on the Aero 7A-5 bomb ejector rack. The Aero 7B-4 bomb ejector rack is mechanically armed through the electromechanical arming solenoids. Organizational-level maintenance is performed on the Aero 7A-5 and 7B-4 bomb ejector racks with the racks installed on the aircraft. The maximum store capacity of the BRU-10A/B bomb ejector rack is 4,000 pounds. The BRU-10A/B ejector assembly should be cleaned and inspected after every five shots or at the end of the day, whichever comes first. The BRU-11A/A bomb ejector rack is a modification of the BRU-10A/B bomb ejector rack. 10-16
