Description
The fuze is essentially the same as the Athwartship Hydrostatic Fuze AN-Mk 224, being an athwartship fuze consisting of the pistol, booster, and booster extender. The firing assembly and booster extender are inserted in the athwartship tube of the depth bombs from opposite sides. The AN-Mk 234 differs from the AN-Mk 224 in that it has an external setting device and does not require disassembly to effect depth variations in functioning.
