Hi All,
While searching through my fuze boxes for a No80 with an adaptor, I came across this No.94 fuse (dated 1918) - Ahh perhaps a perfect match for my 1918 shrapnel projectile........or is it???
It appears that the No94 (used between 1916 -1921) was originally an 80 with time rings filled with "Chilworth" composition" giving 42-sec burning time for long range shrapnel.
Did they used it for 18pdr shrapnel shells?
I can not find any information on which shrapnel shells used them? (perhaps naval for longer distances??)
Thoughts?
Thanks
Cheers
Drew
