Hi.

The picture below is extracted from "Gunners' Instrution Gun Companies" from 1917

LABELS :
Fuze Board Frankford Arsenal 1912(From top left to bottom right)
Base Percussion Fuze minor caliber
Base Percussion Fuze medium and major caliber
Base Detonating Fuze major caliber model of 1906
Base Detonating Fuze medium caliber model of 190(0 or 3 ?)

I can't find more information on those fuzes. Does someone has any documentation, drawings and maybe better pictures ?

Regards,

S.
 
They are shown in the (U.S.) Handbook of Ordnance Data 1861, dated November 15, 1918. Pages 163 to 166. Cheers, Bruce.
