DESCRIPTION. The fuze has three firing circuits and is of type 1 construction. It may be found reversed in the fuze pocket (rotated 180°) and a stop plug inserted in the base of the fuze to direct the flash from the instantaneous puffer to a 1-second delay pellet. |

SAFETY SWITCHING. Depressing the plain plunger B switches off the igniter bridges via a separate switch. (See fig. 139.) |
