Yes, well, it's a fuse for an artillery shell...shell flies through the air, then at the appropriate time (in seconds) the fuse causes the shell to detonate
Yeah I know I should have been there for that one!!! A good 'ol case of bubbly guts caused me to have a little more morning "paper work" than I am accustomed too... LOL!! That is one super fuse you found there. I'm pretty sure that the holes on top of that fuse were for timing it, they would punch one of the holes next to the corresponding numbers and that would determine how many seconds it would take to detonate.
Another nice video, Tony and a fun day it was ! Found out, for those of you that do not know, that the fuse is a Shenkel Combonation fuse holder, and Tony was correct in that the bottom of the fuse is closed. It ignites the bursting charge through the side where it looks like the fuse is torn open. There were holes all the way down the side in a spiral.
nice!
did you ever identify what type of shell it's for?
