Hi All,

I'm searching for a photo of the internal clock mechanism that fitted the D-2(a) aerial burst mechanical time fuse - does anyone have an example with the internal clock mechanism or have a photo of it?

Why I ask, is that the clock mechanism is suppose to be "almost" identical to the artillery ones - ie Type 91 mechanical time fuses, and I suspect that the difference just relates to the top part of the clock mechanism.

Any pics or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Cheers
Drew

Here's a pic of what the actual D-2(a) looks like (LHS) and an exploded diagram:
