ALLIED BOMBS AND FUZES |
PART I - U.S. BOMBS |
M-100 Series Tail Fuzes |
The following four pages contain a diagram and information on the M-100 Series of Bomb Fuzes. These fuzes are the most commonly used tail fuzes. Since the operation of all of the fuzes in this series is essentially the same, they have been discussed under one heading. The following fuzes are discussed: |
M-100 | |
AN | M-100 A1 |
AN | M-100 A2 |
M-101 | |
AN | M-101 A1 |
AN | M-101 A2 |
M-102 | |
AN | M-102 A1 |
AN | M-102 A2 |
It will be noted that the M-100, M-101, and M-102 fuzes are the same ex- cept for the length of the impeller shafts. The length of the shaft varies to fit the different sizes of the bombs. The same holds true in the A1 and A2 series of these fuzes. The other minor difference in the A1 and A2 series are discussed in the data. |
