Nature. Percussion : non-delay, short delay or long delay
action (vide 0.V., 1 V and 2 V ©n the plate).
Material.—Brass.
Remarks.— With the 1906 pattern shell for 28 cm. howitzer,
the fuze is set without delay action- (0.V.) for ranges below
4,100 m. and at 2 V for ranges above 4,100 m.
A variation of this fuze has been found fitted to a 13 cm.
incendiary shell. Above the designation ]g. Bd. Z. 10 are the
=
words Brd. Gesch. Brand-Oeschoss, implyingthat it is designed
for use with incendiary shell. The fuze is otherwise externally
identical withthe ordinary !g. Bd. Z. 10 fuze.
This fuze has superseded an older pattern called Bd. Z. 06 (see
page 138).
