| The bomb has parallel aides, with a nose adapter and a tapered rear section. A tail adapter secures the tail to the body. The explosive charge is cone shaped, employing the principle of the Munroe shaped charge. A cylindrical nose attachment is welded onto the nose adapter by four tack welds. The exploder is in the rear of the body, and is initiated by a flash from the nose fuze, communicated through the supporting tube extending from the nose cavity to the exploder. |
