Historical Reference
The 2000 lb AP Mk I features a forged steel body with a solid nose approximately 1.9 ft. long, tapering from maximum diameter to the tail. The base is threaded externally for a tail adapter and internally for a base adapter receiving the exploder container. The fuze is secured by a fuze securing ring.
Tail variants include the No. 1 Mk I (aluminum alloy, cylindrical strut with four vanes), the No. 15 Mk I (steel, with strengthening ring and wing bolt attachment), and the No. 47 Mk I (cylindrical strut with four riveted fins and a reach rod through the tail cone). The bomb is suspended from the aircraft via two suspension bands.
