CIA clam mine

[kiwieod]

got this clam mine which is supposed to be a post ww2 CIA clam mine.in john brunners book OSS WEAPONS II he talks about the SOE/OSS clam mines and says that the CIA redesigned the clam mine with the time pencils along the top edges.he quotes a FSN 1375-H00-2346 for this mine
is this the mine I have?

Hi Kiwieod

What you have is one variant of the redesigned CIA Clam Mine. With acknowledgement to EOD who posted the link on another Forum, have a search on the following site
https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/historical-collections
A search for Clam brings some really useful information about the project, and it is well worth having a good look around for other OSS/CIA ordnance files.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

P.S - Try a search for "Timer" for plenty of bedtime reading!
