132 fuze
hi, you are speaking of the WW1 nose fuze? l have found some info dealing with delay fuze 131 - fired from 1.5 pdr. C.O.W. (37mm), Mk.3 gun, No.48. The fuze is D.A. impact, however its been modified to design: R.L. 28,160. Its now noted as: Fuze, Time, No.131. We know the No.132 is Sim.to the No.131., so may be the 132 is a 131 with delay added ?????? R.

Fuze, Electric, No 132 Modified
1 Design NOD1859
The electric fuze is my entry. The Navy designed a number of electric fuzes which appear to be for for firing manually, perhaps for static trials or (for larger natures) demolition purposes - more research required.
