Fuze head

If the bomb strikes with the side of the fuze toward the target, inertia causes both the striker (12) and the primer holder (11) to move toward the side of the fuze. The striker is forced into the primer holder by the sloping surfaces of the fuze head and case the firing pin strikes the primer and the fuze action is completed as described above (Ref 51a, pp 4-28 to 4-30)...

Uses In finely divided form as oxygen-acceptor in priming mixtures, P80. In fuze heads in combination with lead styphnate, P31. 

The voltage switch was connected to the master switch which was used to jettison the bombs. The master switch was connected to the charging head which contacted the fuze head and completed the electrical circuit thru the fuze body. to the storage condense rs... 

It is identical with the M55 series, except that M55 models have a booster assembled to the fuze. The fuze consists of three major parts 1) A closing cap or head (A) contg the SQ impact element (B, C, E) and the time-action plunger (F) 2) Two time-train rings,... 

Fuze, PD M56. It is a supersensitive type used with 37-mm HE shells. The fuze consists of the following parts (See Fig 1-77), joined by threads a nose (B), a head assembly (F) snd body (L), The body holds the booster charge (M) and an interrupter (N) which contains a part of the explosive train connecting the booster with the detonator (H), which is located in its assembly (G) screwed into recess of head assembly (F). 

A head assembly (2) containing an arming pin (14) and a slide bar (13) is screwed into the open end of the case. A booster cup containing a booster (8) is assembled to the end of the case that contains the delay mixture. A safety wire (1), which is removed when the bomb is clustered, holds the arming pin in the fuze... 

Nose and Tail MT Fuzes (older as well as newer designs), consist of a body which contains the time element the expl train, and a head which contains the mechanical arming firing system. Head and body... 

A bomb primer-detonator is an interchangeable unit (composed of a primer delay element and a detonator) which is designed to provide delay in the action of older models of tail fuzes. Primer-detonators of various time delays are available, with the exact delay time of each painted on the detonator head (Ref 51 a,...
