Hello

here is another datasheet.

 

[BMG50]

Thanks Pascal. Icn, Jean Paul do you have a higher resolution picture. Is this particular fuze common or scarce.

This one has a higher resolution. the original file is 1.42mb, could be send by email if need be.

You asked what the 241 fuze was used on and you would have seen the 'K' device etc., mentioned in the extract from the Navy ammunition handbook. According to my notes it was also used with the Hedgehog anti-submarine projectile, experimentally in the projectiles for the 13.5/8-inch Hypervelocity Gun, and it was approved for use in an adapter in captured German 88mm HE she'll for the ex-German U-Boat HMS Graph (although I am not sure if the ammunition was actually used).

Hope that is of some interest.
