Although the term "Congreve match" is the most widely used, there are a few synonyms for the same such as a slow match, a safety match, or a match cord. These matches were mostly used in military operations and were used to ignite fuses for cannons and other heavy artillery. Today, Congreve matches are rarely used, but the term is still used in military and historical circles to describe a specific type of specialty match.
