[Milsurplus] submi-s, prox. fuzes

Is that for proxy fuzes or for everything? I missed/lost the earlier
messages.

For proxy fuzes I can't spot that figure in my refs - not that that means
much! The book The Deadly Fuze quotes 22M total to 1945, with Sylvania
making 5.68M. That's complete proxy fuzes, so valve-wise that is 88M @ 4
valves per fuze, not including valves destined for other uses.

And of the 88M I only have 6! Huh.
