Remarks. According to a <strong>German</strong> document, this fuze willbe<br />
replaced by the instantaneous fuze E.H.Z. 16 (see page 50).<br />
This fuze is also used with 10*5 cm. blue cross gas shell, for<br />
which the maximum ranges are probably somewhat less than<br />
those given inthe table above.<br />
