Hi



Reading the "Service handbook of the 6in trench mortar" from 1921.

The plate about ammunition shows the drawings of the delay and non-delay Mark XVI fuze

Found this one in the "Random Museum..." thread

Is this the correct fuze ?

Thanks MINENAZ16. It's easier with your picture ! But the two drawings look exactly the same, so I am a bit confused...
 
I know your diagram on MkVI but no idea what is the difference between MkVII.
Don't know what to think as MkVII is mentionned for US 6in and 9.45in.

An early book, Ordnance data from nov 1918 shows only Mk VII fuze with 6in and 240.
