how to rewind a fuze n208?

Hi there,

I bought a fuze n208 in mint condition and somehow activated the clock mechanism by releasing this aluminum thing on the top of the clock. Anyone know how to rewind it? It seems like I'll need some kind of a key with a gear at the end?

Thanks,

Best regards,

Would it be possible to see the clock, im a bomb fuse collector, i have tools for winding the clocks for bomb fuses,,,,,, Dave
 
Hi,

As promised some pictures of the clock mechanism. I think it's a 1953 dated fuze.

Here is my key that i use for rewinding the clocks in 17 bomb fuses, its made from a door lock key and turned down to fit, from your first picture it looks like the key would fit the bottom hole,,,,,, Dave
