Inventory question - what is the correct No. / nomenclature for this item? I find it listed in US WWII docs only as British pressure/pull fuze, electric. Thanks -

Jeff,

It was approved for manufacture as:

Switch, No 7, Pressure/Pull, Electrical, Mk I /L/

Switch notations changed over time but this was the nomenclature in June 1943.
