Description

These are the electric fuzes for the JB-2 or "Loon” missile. The T74 was replaced by the T705, but both designs are no longer on order. The fuzes are similar, but the T705 allows variable setting of arming distances; the T74 series has a set distance for each modification. Both fuzes have the electric leads in a rubber cable running into the fuze and down to the rotor housing. The gear train is the same as that in the T715 and T84 series. The rotor housing and rotor are made of plastic to provide insulation between the contacts.
