Description
This fuze consists of a Nose Fuze Mk 137 Mod 2 fuze plus a tetryl burster tube 14.06 inches long. A steel collar is brazed to the upper end of the tube. A rubber gasket is inserted between the burster tube collar and the burster retaining disc. Between the wall of the burster tube and the inside wall of the burster retaining disc is left n clearance of approximately 0.03-inch. This clearance, in addition to the rubber gasket, allows the burster tube a certain degree of flexibility, which is desirable when installing the complete fuze assembly in the fuze adapter of the rocket body.
