hello
Yes, I know it.
But I thought it can be user with clam ? (yes, for sabotage also) and perharps anoter mines ?
Hello pascal,as dillo said it was primarily used for sabotage
But it was one of two main types of delay initiator for the Clam the second type been the no9 "L" delay,
The no10 could be fitted to various explosive charges and grenades using an adapter,
They had several types of delay 30min,1.5hr,5hr,10hr and 20hr,
so unless a mine was been used as a sabotage or boobytrap device they would not have beeen any use as standard mine initiators
