| GERMAN FUZES |
| (45) AND (45) A – ELECTRICAL IMPACT FUZE |
| DATA: |
| Bombs Used in: (45) not yet recovered in any bomb. (45) A in SC 50. |
| Color: (45), dark grey. (45) A, unpainted fuze head with yellow shoulder. |
| Material: Aluminum and sheet steel. |
|
Possible Action: Unknown for (45). As found, the fuze gives only instantaneous action. However, it is probable that various delay pellets can be threaded into the fuze above the gaine. The (45) A gives either instantaneous action of 0.08 second delay. |
| Principal Markings: El.A.Z. (45); El.A.Z. (45) A. |
| Secondary Markings: |
| Rh.S. 1940 on (45). cpp a 16 e on (45) A. |
