Description
This mine consists of a cylindrical body of thin sheet metal, cast TNT explosive filler, three tetryl booster charges, three CS 7A pressure fuzes, three fuze well pressure covers, a secondary fuze well, and a carrying handle. The top plate has three blasting cap wells that fit into the tetryl booster charges. The CX 7A pressure fuzes fit into the blasting cap wells and the pressure covers screw down over the fuzes to provide added resistance to the functioning of the fuzes. The secondary fuze well on the bottom of the mine is for booby trapping and anti-lift purposes. The CX 7A pressure fuze consists of an aluminum base, blasting cap, percussion cap, and an aluminum cap with a striker pin.
