Hi Glen
Very nice fuze in very good condition , its an interesting clockwork fuze for equipment container opening , it uses a clock very similar to the (17) but runs for a maximum of 60 seconds ,after which the flash pellet fires and releases a knife , which cuts the parachute release cable.

Hello Steve,
don't know if I understud you correct, but the FZ 60 is for cutting the parachute cabels after the drop container landet to prevent the chute dragging the container over the ground from the wind.
At the drop, the chute was released by a static line that was hocked to the aircraft.
