| 5. Percussion, fuze J.Gr.Z. 23 n.A. (0,15) |
| Fig. 7 |
|
This Aluminum fuze has so far only been found in 7.5 cm separate ammunition. |
|
In appearance it is similar to Fuze AZ. 23 Rh.S. (0.25) previously described. The only dif-ference is in the dimensions and in the following points of detail: |
|
|
|
Fig. 7 |
| (1) |
The body of the fuze is in three parts instead of two, the three parts being screw-ed and pegged to each other. |
| (2) |
The detonator holder is of a slightly different form with a lower end of truncated cone shape, screwed and pegged into the cylindrical part containing the detonator. |
| (3) |
A cylindrical iron ring held by the prongs of a brass washer is held between the centre and lower portions of the body. It supports the detonator holder against the effect of set back and has a central hole communicating with the open central channel and with the channel containing the delay through an oblique passage. |
| (4) |
The delay holder is marked 0.15 instead of 0.25. |
|
The delay mechanism and the method of operation are identical with those of the fuze AZ. 23 Rh.S. (0.25). |
