CONSTRUCTION. The cast steel body fo the bomb is closed at the tail by a sheet steel plate shrunk in position. Externally the tail end is machined to form a seating for the tail unit. Nine angular grooves, machined in the body ensure good fragmentation. The fuze adapter, internally threaded to accept the airflow control ring of the fuze EAZ (66) A, is shrunk into a recess formed in the nose of the bomb body. The main filling is recessed at the nose end to accommodate a long gaine. (See fig. 43.) |
