1411-397

Description

These fuzes are generally like the Tail Mechanical Impact Fuze M167, but they use the body of the Fuze M112, with the cocked striker. Also, the arming spindle is not threaded in the striker sleeve; it slides out as the vanes thread it upward in the gear section of the fuze.

The T59 is used in the tail of the bomb warhead in the GB-4 Missile. The T62 is in the Destructor T9, which is also part of GB-4. The only difference between the fuzes is that they are made of different materials.
