Proximity fuze

Mechanical Fuze. Any fuze which depends for its arming and functioning on events primarily of a mechanical nature. Fuzes may consist of a combination of mechanical and electronic features. Proximity fuzes may contain a mechanical delayed arming device mechanical fuzes may be functioned by electrical energy from a piezoelectric element. The classification is dependent upon which features are predominant... [Pg.67]

Not only the above "air-burst" but "proximity-fuze too, were envisioned by Lieut Moor. He proposed to equip shells and underwater mines (called in his time "torpedoes ") with such fuzes. His proximity fuze was not described in the article of Eichberg (Ref 33a), but probably was in one of the official reports addressed to the Navy... [Pg.757]

Nose Proximity Fuze AN-M166 (T51E1), shown in Fig 4-21, is of the bar-type. It can be used in any bomb that contains a fuze well that will accommodate a selective action nose fuze in the series M163 (described in Ref 51a, pp 4-1 4-2) or M904 (described in Ref 51a, p 4-21 and shown in Fig 4-4).
