resistance is omitted. The (25)A* differs from the (25)A only in wiring connections.
DESCRIPTION:
The fuze has three firing circuits and is of type 2 construction. A screw in the head operates a switch which cuts out the short delay circuit leaving only the long delay under plunger B.
SAFETY SWITCHING:
Each plunger cuts off the opposite arming circuit when depressed.
