This is my example of a USA Primer Detonator M14 0.1 sec Delay,
These were used with bomb fuzes M100, M160 and M190 series.They come in delays 0.1, 0.25, .10, .25 and NON Delay.
When the bomb impacts the firing pin in the tail fuze strikes the M39 primer.The flash from the primer ignites the delay charge which burns for the required time,and ignites the igniter charge.The igniter charge functions the relay charge which ignites the M17 detonator.

please feel free to add more images/info
