This mechanical fuze has a brass case. The striker spring compression is increased or decreased by a tensioning screw in the top of the fuse. To prevent accidental firing, a wide flat safety bay is inserted between the percussion cap and the striker. The safety bar cannot be removed when the striker is in an uncocked position. A brass shipping cap is placed on the threaded base. A variation of this fuze has a setting collar with the figures 1 and 2 marked on it. The collar is set on 1 for pressure, and 2 for pull.
