The body consists of a welded cylindrical case, closed by two covers connected by a central tube called the primer tube. This tube, housing the primer, pistol, and depth adjuster, has an internal diameter of 3.5 in. Three lifting eyes with rings are provided, one on the cover at the primer end, and two on the cover at the opposite end. The cover at the primer end has two filling holes which are closed by bungs. It may or may not have a nose attachment and tail. The bomb is carried on aircraft with the primer end forward, except when fitted with the parachute attachment, in which case the pistol and depth adjuster are forward.
