CONT

Le bouchon en "V" est le plus communément pratiqué. Il consiste essentiellement en une série de paires de trous partant de côtés opposés dans la face d'attaque et se dirigeant à la rencontre de l'un et de l'autre, de manière à enlever par explosion un prisme en forme de coin ou de cône, lequel généralement peut s'étendre du mur (sol) de la galerie jusqu'à son toit (plafond).

OBS

La vedette devrait paraître comme «bouchon en «V»», avec le V entre guillemets.
