Clock for Torpedominen

[Antoon]

Hello,

Who has information about this clockwork as used bij German Frogman in there "Torpedominen" during the attack on the Waal-river bridges in the Netherlands, after Operation Market Garden?

 

[Zunder]

It does look a lot like a regular UES (Uhrwerkseinschalter), are there any markings on the baseplate ?

Best regards,

Zünder

Yes,

Starts at page 235

There's also a Kriegsmarine manual: M.Dv. Nr. 658, but i am still looking for that one.
A good book to have is Wolfgang Thamm's "Einsatzfähige deutsche Fernzündgeräte", which describes german WW2 fuzesystems for naval and aircraft mines as well as clocks like the UES.
It was/is published by comprints.de, ISBN 3-86611-108-8.
