ELAZ 17A Working

[satan18]

This is the one that now does what it says on the tin.

The 1940 pattern all ally bodied emergency pattern fuse
which fully strips and will tick happily away to itself.

I have now got to find a 250kg to drop this in.

Totally free from any explosive .

The Emergency pattern has a lower half in steel. with no markings this is a (17)B which usually had the marks painted on it.and would have been painted grey, with the marking EI.AZ (17)B* in white ink and ran for between 5 and 120 minutes.
