How do you set a M762/M767 to PD?

Setting the M762 or M767 to Point Detonate (PD) is accomplished by configuring the fuze correctly to ensure it detonates upon direct impact with the target. The M762/M767 fuzes have specific markings that indicate the settings for different detonation modes. The black triangle at 98.0 is the standard adjustment for Point Detonate. This setting allows the fuze to function properly for close range engagement and targets that require immediate detonation upon impact.

The black triangle specifically indicates this precise setting for PD, which is essential for maximizing the effectiveness of artillery fire, ensuring that the projectile detonates at the correct time for optimal damage against the target. Understanding how to interpret these markings is crucial for cannon crewmembers to maintain effectiveness in their artillery operations.
