(1/1)
johnnn:
As I can not get out just yet I have been putting some collections? together, every time I visit the UK in my area I find hundreds of pieces of AA shrapnel so I put some better pieces into display cabinets the fuses for the type 199 I have restored to show what they looked like all those years ago, it was a fun project.....HH.....Johnnn

Fuses are incredible Cool things you can find.
Just think of all the Machining, Assembly, Building the Clock Works for timing, Altitude sensor's (Bulb type Altimeters) , Later Proximity Sensors (Radio Transmitter and Receiver) , some gals handling the Percolate Priming charges ( More then a Few was Killed) , In the money of the time, that fuse cost more then some people made in a a Month. From out of the box to end of there job was less then 10 Seconds. How many Millions was blasted up. Bad Note: Everything that goes up has to come down. How many cars, houses, horses, cows got smacked by them coming down? 99% missed the target. That's a butt load of stuff coming down. Side Side Note: When I was in Turkey the Turkish Air Force would fly over our base housing shooting at a towed target. When the .50 cal brass came raining down, you ran for anything harder then you.
