(38 sl) – ELECTRICAL FUZE
DATA:
Bombs Used in: SC 250 kg, used as depth bomb.
Color: Dark grey.
Material: Aluminum.

Principal Markings: El.A.Z. 38 sl.
Secondary Markings: cpp 1942; cpp 1942, 539.

DESCRIPTION. This fuze was developed to supersede the (38) when employed in the SC 250 kg used as an antisubmarine bomb. This fuze incorporates two firing circuits, a short delay of under 1 second and a longer delay of about 1 second. The longer delay in the green fuze is 0.75 second; that in the dark grey fuze is 1.3 seconds.

Safety switching is accomplished by depressing either plunger which switches off the op-posite firing circuit. (See fig. 166.)

REMARKS. 1. Type 2 construction.
