Description
The fuze consists of a metal fuze body, a vane cap, and a base piece containing the magazine, the detonator, and the pyrotechnic delay ring leading from the self-destroying assembly.
This fuze is a direct acting impact fuze in which is incorporated a spring loaded self-destroying device designed to detonate the shell in the event of a miss. The fuze is designed for Naval antiaircraft purposes.
The self-destroying element is normally designed to function at an altitude of 4,500 ft., but an alternative filling composition for the time rings can be provided to give self-destruction at 7,500 ft.
