Abstract
A gravity sensing disc slide interrupter in combination with dual chambered etonating booster charges is used to automatically select one of a plurality of mine covers to be removed from a randomly ground oriented mine in order to insure maximum leathality against a target. Reliable selection of the mine cover to be explosively removed is accomplished by reduction of gap distance between the output side of a transfer lead charge and the input side of detonating fuze booster charges.
