This early produced proximity fuze was designed for the 81mm HE-mortar round. The fuze (which is similar to the T-172 VT mortar fuze, which was developed by the University of Florida) is made of brass with a loop type antenna to get a more forward-looking angle of sensitivity. Generator turbine & power supply assembly was mounted in the base part of the fuze.
It never made it out of the experimental status.
A very rare fuze in posession of the MTRC reference collection.
Enjoy it
