Over-all length

Width of fuze body

The body is cylindrical and divided into two pieces. The base cover is a push fit over the body. A smaller, threaded cylinder at the front of the fuze serves to affix the fuze to the bomb. There are no arming vanes.

The rear part of the fuze contains 19.4 in. of the cord, one end of which is secured to the top of the rear position and the other looped around the striker in the body position. The striker arm pivots on a pin and is held by a spring. The body contains the striker, the detonator, and three feet of safety fuse.

On removal of the safety pin, the cap can be pulled away. To the inside of the cap is attached one end of a piece of cord 6 meters long (19 ft. 4 in.). The other end of the cord is attached by a loop to the striker. When the cord is pulled taut, it pulls the striker to a vertical position, and the loop of the cord slides off the striker. Then the spring takes hold and rotates the striker down to fire the detonator. This ignites a three-foot length of safety fuse, which burns for about 90 seconds and then fires the detonating charge.
