This is a mechanical time fuze and is used in the 8.8 cm Flak star shell. The fuze may be indentified by the stamping "Zt.Z. S/60 nA. Zn." just above the flange and can be readily distinguished from other German mechanical fuzes already described, by the low crh. of the fuze cap. Its maximum time of running is 60 seconds. The overall length of the fuze is 3.2 inches and it weighs 1 lb. 4 oz.

The body of the fuze is of zinc alloy, and the nose cap, hand race and screwed collar are of light alloy.

The time mechanism is similar to that of the Dopp.Z. S/60 S, described and illustrated in Pamphlet No. 10, but the hand is of light metal and the trigger plunger, supporting the trigger, is engaged in the end of the trigger instead of the outer side.
