Description
The fuze has a black vane cap on which is stamped the number and mark of the fuze. This cap is held on by three retaining clips, which are riveted to the shoulder of the upper fuze body. The steel vanes are attached to the vane hub connecting to the top of the arming spindle. The arming spindle holds down a black plastic arming cone, which rests in a striker retainer and holds out three retaining balls. The striker retainer is screwed to the upper end of a spring-loaded striker. A safetypin hole passes through the body and also the striker. The striker retainer is grooved in order to accommodate a transit pin. A detonator holder, which carries the percussion cap, is screwed to the bottom of the body.
