ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION OF MOVEMENT ASSEMBLY MT, 90 SECOND, T5E1

Abstract

This presentation describes the engineering and production of movement assembly, MT, 90 second, T3E2, T4E1 and T5E1 for mechanical time bomb fuzes. The work performed covered the engineering of the movement assembly to effect a self-starting unit, minimize costs, reduce lead time, and assure the production rate of 100,000 units per month. A sufficient quantity of test samples were fabricated to prove out the engineering performed. The approach was to strengthen the weak areas of both the R+D and partially production engineered version and to eliminate the extreme manufacturing difficulties encountered by producers of the R+D models. Sketches and models were made. Frequent engineering conferences were held with the arsenal representatives to evaluate contractor sketches, models, test results and recommendations. Drawings were revised to reflect the conclusions.
