The basic aspects of radio fuses designing during the Second World War are considered. The results of the analysis of technical solutions for the control and test equipment of autodyne radio fuses, which were used in their production in the USA, England and Canada during the Second World War, are presented. The equipment in the form of metal loading boxes which shields the radiation of autodynes into the space is considered. The excessive capacity created by the box walls for meter-wavelength fuses was neutralized by inductive compensation inside the box. The design features of boxes for decimeter-wavelength range fuses are also considered.
