Time fuzes

Nitroindene Polymer (N.I.P.). Evaluated at PicArsn as a substitute for charcoal in fuze powders. The N.I.P. fuze powders gave longer burning times and lower dispersions in M54 Time Fuzes under rotation and reduced pressure than the corresponding charcoal powders. They were also more sensitive to impact Ref D. Hart, Investigation of the Use of Nitroindene Polymer in Powder for M54 Time Fuze , PATR 1296 (1943) PATR 1525 (1945)... [Pg.317]

Nitroindene was considered for use in the USAM54 Time Fuze but was found to be too sensitive to impact (Ref 3)... [Pg.326]

Fuze, Proximity Fuze, VT (Variable Time) Fuze, Radio or Fuze, Influence. A fuze wherein primary initiation occurs by sensing the presence, distance, and/or direction of the target thru the characteristics of the target itself or its environment... [Pg.883]

Fuze Setter. A device de.signed for manual and/or automatic setting of time fuzes (Ref 38b, p 128)... [Pg.883]

Upon firing a proplnt chge in a gun, the projectile starts to move with acceleration and rotation. Acceleration will cause setback, while rotation will produce centrifugal force. Both forces will act upon movable safety parts inside the fuze and if it is a time fuze, the setback force alone will be sufficient for arming. If the fuze is impact-type, a combination of setback and centrifugal force will be required to achieve the same purpose. [Pg.886]

These fuzes, sometimes called "Posit" Buck Rogers" "Special" "Influence" and "Bonzo" are in effect "automatic time fuzes". Without "setting" or "adjustment" they detonate the missiles that carry them on approach to the target at the desired point on their trajectories, such as... [Pg.918]

When adopted for single suspension (by suspension lug welded to the body), only instantaneous or VT fuzes are used, but fitting of a mechanical time fuze is permitted with the addition of an adapter-booster. Its body diam is 6.06-in, length (with fin assembly M101) 28.0-in, total weight 86.6-lb (when loaded with. 11.4-lb of Comp B), or 87.4-lb (when loaded with 12.3-lb of TNT)... [Pg.935]
