FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AIR DASHPOT FOR DELAYED ARMING OF M52A2 PD FUZE,
Abstract
A program was initiated by Picatinny Arsenal to redesign the air dashpot mechanism for delayed arming of the M52A2 PD Fuze. A delay device utilizing the principles of bleeding air through a porous restrictor was adapted into the fuze. A workable unit was evolved which showed satisfactory static and ballistic test results. As a result of tests conducted, mechanism appeared completely feasible and was recommended for further development. (Author)
