Description
These are VT fuzes of the ring type. They are designed to detonate the bomb at a point above the earth which will give effective fragmentation. These ring type fuzes are especially sensitive to "passing objects" and therefore are useful in defoliating by blast and in getting roof top bursts in city areas.
The configuration of the fuze makes it applicable for use with GP, fragmentation, and chemical bombs of a hundred pounds or more, depending upon tactical requirements
