Fuze 137 Details Request

[MikeC]

Gents,

I've been reading a report on the use of 4.5 inch Barrage Rockets fired from mountings on LVT(A)4 AMTRACS and it mentions a "Fuze 137 (PD, propeller-arming)". Can someone please provide me with details or a reference to this fuze in particular, and also the US manufactured 4.5 inch Barrage Rocket?

Thanks in anticipation, Mike

OP 1017
Fuze stripping guide
OP 1664 US Explosive ordnance
Advanced fuze and explosive ordnance bulletin
MIL-HDBK-145 & MIL-HDBK-146

Cheers,

S.
