Question ... What does the EE and W stand for on the Spanish EE-W300 fuze?

Thanks for the help,

Joe
 
Hello,

EE significa "Espoleta Ecia", Ecia Fuze.
Ecia, as you well know, refers to the company "Esperanza y Cia" (the contraction of the word "company" is "cia"), a manufacturer of mortar grenades and their fuses in Spain. W300 is the fuse model. For example, EE53 W300 is the first model of the ECIA-53, EE53 W310 is the same fuse with later modifications.
