1394-357

Description

This fuze is almost identical to the Fuze No. 700 Mk II. Instead of employing Gaine No. 13, however, this fuze is fitted with a magazine containing two CE pellets, which is an integral part of the fuze assembly. This change is necessitated by the different shape of the light ogival shell in which the fuze is employed.

Neither the fuze nor the shell for which it was designed has ever been employed operationally.
