Chinese Fuzes

[ron3350]

I would like to know the model and use of these 2 long Chinese fuses.
Both fuzes are aluminium with steel adjusting rings. 3mm/9tpi threads 59.5mm diameter.

1. Long. Has a white band/nose and is 181.5mm overall and 63.5mm wide.
Symbol - 5 (crossed out) 6. - 484 . Is it a time delay type 6?

2. Shorter graduated 1 - 60. 157mm overall and 63.5mm wide. Same threads as above.
2x symbols - symbol. 1 - 79 484.

I guess 484 is the maker factory and 1979 date.

Looks like there MS 1 MT or their copy of Soviet VM 30

i just got some of the same fuzes,i understand they are type 6 mechanical delay(they have a clockwork inside and would make a good cutaway)
they go on a large rocket but i cant find out which one yet

For the left fuze the first character isn't very clear, but the later seem to be 時-1式. I'm not good with Chinese, but a Chinese speaker, well reader, may be able to help you. However, and according to Google translate, the characters mean '?? Time 1 Type', so its probably an 'MS-1S'.

As to what they are, the left would seem to be based on the (almost the same) Soviet/Russian TM-16 or VM-16 series mechanical time (MT) fuzes. The former is normally used with artillery (naval or coastal) dispenser projectiles and would have a igniferous (black power) output. The latter would be used with high explosive artillery (naval or coastal) projectiles and have a detonative (tetryl) output.

The one on the right may be based on the Soviet/Russian TM-120 or the GDT-90, but with a revised nose and an explosive output assembly. Both are normally used with dispenser artillery rockets and have an igniferous output.

Nice to see some replies as I had little knowledge on them. Thanks to all.
