Hi,
Coming back (again)
I found in this book download from Scribd (page 240-241) : Artillery circular 1, series of 1893, MODERN GUNS AND MORTARS adopted int the US land service, dated 1895,
a drawing of Joe's fuze :
Except the fact that on the cutaway, the percussion element is missing (raises the question if they were they used just as time fuzes, or if it's just missing), you can see few differences with the one shown on my previous post. In the book, it's named Frankford Arsenal point-combination fuze, 15 seconds. But there is no date. So model of 189? or 188?
Regards,
S.
