What, if anything, do you understand by the term incomplete plosion?

It is a term not to be found, as far as I can see, in any work by Gimson, OConnor,
Cruttenden, Roach, Ladefoged, Collins/Mees or in fact any British phonetician
later than Daniel Jones (but see below). Its not in SID. I havent checked
American sources, but I dont think they use it either. So I was a little surprised
when I found it in the draft of a textbook of English phonetics by a Chinese author
that I was asked to read.
When a plosive sound is immediately followed by another plosive sound, only the second plosive is fully
exploded, but the closure of the first plosive sound (the 2nd stage of the first plosive) is held for double
the usual time. This is known as incomplete plosion.

Examples given include such cases as the k acting kt or the in beggedbed.

This is what I call no audible release or masking of a plosive. We also
sometimes speak of overlapping plosives. Because of the supervening second
plosive, the release of the first plosive in such sequences cannot be heard, being
masked by the hold of the second plosive. Acoustically, what you get in kt is
the formant transitions of a velar approach, a long silence (the double hold) and the
formant transitions of an alveolar release. (The assertion that the first plosive is
held for double the usual time is simply wrong.)
I do remember Gordon Arnold, one of my teachers at UCL, when I was studying
phonetics as a postgraduate, telling me that the expression incomplete plosion
was strongly deprecated. The term incomplete plosive was not quite so absurd, he
said, but I should still prefer plosive with no audible release. I had the general
impression that these were unfortunate Jonesian terms which his successors were
trying to eradicate.
Accordingly, in my Practical Phonetics (with Greta Colson, Pitman, 1971, p, 73) I
wrote
Another term sometimes encountered, INCOMPLETE PLOSION, is misleading and best avoided.

In a quick search of Joness major works, however, I can find no instance of

incomplete plosion, only incomplete plosive (consonants), e.g. at 578-585 in
the 1957 edition of An Outline of English Phonetics. Under that heading Jones
deals not only with masked release but also with what we might now call
gemination, zero release or unreleased plosives, in homorganic plosive sequences
such as red deer and eggcup.

A Google search for incomplete plosion brings up an old lecture handout on

Rachael-Anne Knights website, which wrongly defines the IPA diacritic [] as
denoting incomplete plosion. (In the current IPA Chart it is defined as no audible
release.) She includes not only acting but also cases such as take five, where
narrow release may also apply (???).
Apart from this one document from a NS phonetician, Google directs us to
aPowerpoint presentation from Xi'an Jiaotong University and some
Chineseinstructional material on English phonetics.
When a plosive consonant is immediately followed by another plosive, only the second plosive is fully
exploded, the first plosive is incomplete. This is known as incomplete plosion, which often takes place at
the junction of words.
For example:
actor doctor football black tea sit down a good teacher
1. They collected pennies. 2. She slept badly.

It would appear then that this terminology, obsolete or at least disfavoured among
NS phoneticians, lives on in the local tradition of English phonetics in the Peoples
Republic.
