REMARKS |
|
|
This fuze is identical with the M-110 series of fuzes in both construction and ope-ration. The only difference is that the booster is eliminated from the M- 126. In-stead of the booster a steel cylinder, the same dimensions as the booster, is screwed into the base of the fuze body. This steel cylinder contains an elnarged firing train consisting of primer, upper detonator, lower detonator, which is seated against the tetryl burster of the chemical bombs. |
