Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has a better (clearer) copy of the following drawing of the Japanese Bomb Fuse Type 99 Mk 3 [D-2(a)]:
The diagram is out of the U.S.N.B.D "Japanese Bombs & Fuzes" July 1944 publication - as you can see I do not have a good copy!
A couple of references state that this fuse could be "externally" wound and referred to as point 10 on the digram (Winding hole plug) - does anyone have any more detail on this? Perhaps a photo of the actual winding key etc?
It's an interesting fuse as the mechanical clock mechansim is almost identical to the ones used in artillery time fuses except for the top winding section.
Thanking you all in advance.
Cheers
Drew
