(Fig. 3)

This fuze is used in the nose of the German 8.8 cm A.Tk. Hollow Charge Rocket Projec-tile. Except for the undermentioned difference, it is identical with the Fuze 5075 describ-ed in Pamphlet No. 11, page 26.

(i) The body is made of steel.
(ii) The striker is made of black plastic.

The retaining spring supporting the arming sleeve has only two arms, instead of four, and these are thinner to permit the fuze to be armed at a much smaller acce-leration.

(iv) The spring holder is cut in two places to accommodate the arms.
(v)

The magazine holder, which is of steel, screws into the fuze body direct. The adap-ter has been omitted.

(vi)

A safety pin is provided. This passes through the fuze body and a circumferential groove cut in the arming collar.

The weight of the fuze is 3.02 oz. The diameter of the threads is 1.057 inches and the overall length is 2.12 inches.
