Sgt. Swigart Posted May 26, 2015 #1 Posted May 26, 2015 I guess you would call this the timer? Came back from WW2 with one of my uncles.
Sgt. Swigart Posted May 31, 2015 Author #4 Posted May 31, 2015 Mechanical time fuze.... I would assume that the number equate to altitude. Yes?
pzjgr Posted June 1, 2015 #5 Posted June 1, 2015 Not sure on Japanese fuzes...could be, could just be numbered for reference, a lot of these were set with mechanical fuze setters which automatically dialed them to the right setting based on user input...
Jean-Loup Posted June 5, 2015 #6 Posted June 5, 2015 The numbers correspond to a time, not an altitude.
Sgt. Swigart Posted June 5, 2015 Author #7 Posted June 5, 2015 The numbers correspond to a time, not an altitude. The time would = a specific altitude based on the velocity , right?
Jean-Loup Posted June 5, 2015 #8 Posted June 5, 2015 A specific altitude based on the velocity and the angle. I am not familiar with Japanese shells, but this may well have been used for firing at ground targets as well.
