Hi all,

I have three question about the Fuze No.848

1. what ist the difference between the No.848 Mk.7 and Mk.8?
2. CY ist Corley, but who is BN?
3. has anybody a cutaway drawing from the No.848 Mk.8?

Thanks

And in this particular example the base plug was manufactured by 'Wolverhampton Die Casting'
