Description
The fuze body houses a striker, a spring, and a 10-grain percussion detonator. The striker is held by the action of the spring against a pin riveted in the fuze body. A slot is provided in the striker for this pin. A safety pin passes through the striker and the fuze body. It is attached to a safety tape, which is wound around the fuze body and held in position by a rubber band. Secured to the fuze body is a sleeve, closed by a diaphragm. This sleeve houses a perforated No. 6 C.E. pellet. A booster detonator is housed in the C.E. pellet. Fixed to the fuze body is a screw-threaded fuze cap, to be screwed onto the locator in the bomb when the latter is fuzed.
