Bombs and Fuze
From the PIAT manual:
The fuze. - Until required for
use the fuze is kept in a container attached to the drum tail by a spring
clip....
ii. To fuze. - Remove the fuze
container from the drum tail and take out the fuze. Remove the thimble
from the bomb nose by pressing it downwards and turning it clockwise.
Remove the transit plug from the fuze chamber and insert the fuze flat end
first. Replace the thimble. The transit plug should be placed in the fuze
container and the latter put in the carrier, in case the bomb should later
have to be unfuzed.
