The wooden cases for holding the Fuze composition are made of well-seasoned beech. The interior diameter of the cup is equal to three times that of the bore, and its depth is equal to 1½ of the said diameter. The thickness of wood at the bottom of the bore is equal to two diameters.

Fuzes, being bored for Field guns, or cut to the length required for the range of Garrison guns, are made to fit the Shell correctly by means of a rasp and cutter; after which they are carefully driven into the Shell with a mallet and setter, leaving only the cup of the Fuze out of it. The Fuze is uncapped when placed in the piece.
