Remarks.<br />
—<br />
This fuze is so c<strong>on</strong>structed that the percussi<strong>on</strong><br />
arrangement works equally well whether the projectile strikes the<br />
ground point first or base first. Should the percussi<strong>on</strong> arrangement<br />
fail to act, det<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> is effected by the time arrangement<br />
in the fuze, which for this purppse is set to act <strong>on</strong>e or more<br />
sec<strong>on</strong>ds after impact.<br />
This fuze has been replaced by Z.S.U.HI.W.M., which " is used"<br />
witheither the medium or the heavy Minenwerfer. See Eemarks<br />
<strong>on</strong> page 182.<br />
" Inthe latest patterns of this fuze, the graduati<strong>on</strong>s from 1 to 6 inclu<br />
\u25a0ive are omitted.
