Meaning of LSEM?

[WATU]

Hi
The RAF Bombing Training syllabus for August 1943 has a section on Bomb Carriers which includes this section -

"LSEM carriers: general description, action, leads and safety device. Attachments. Demonstration of loading and testing with practice bombs."

I am lost for what LSEM stands for? Anyone have the solution please?

LS=Light Stores

Thought it was Light Series:

In the document I read it was""light stores" in the combination CBLS (Carrier Bomb Light Stores). Could be light series as well.

I think thats could be

Light series electro magnetic.

It would be thinkable to remove this before sending it to contractor for repair.

I have found a clear reference in AP1661E to the LS being Light Stores that fit to a light bomb carrier. The latter is mechanical so EM might well be electro-mechanical as suggested above.

Type E.M. indicates Electro Magnetic release
Type M. would indicate Mechanical release
