| No. 14 Mks I and II, and No. 18 Mks I and III Functioning of the fuze ignites the burster charge which flashes through the perforated ejector plate to ignite the cambric and candles, and ejects the candles after forcing off the base plate. No. 14 Mks III, and IC, and No. IS Mks III and ICIf nose-fuzed, these bombs function the same as the Mks I and II, except that the central tube instead of battens forces off the tail plate. If tail-fuzed, the flash of the fuse is carried by the primed cambric tube to the nose burster charge, after which the operation is the same. |
