DESCRIPTION. This fuze is similar to the Zus. 40, but is made of light plastic material and has three knife edges to prevent removal from the fuze pocket. These knife edges are actuated by spring-loaded plunger, rather than by light piano wire, as with the Zus. 40. In all other respects, this fuze is identical to the Zus. 40. |
