This soviet model of what appears to be a US Gadget device always fascinated me. Wonder how detailed it was / is. Have to try to find more picture of it online.

No worries, pretty sure it’s two cable per detonator, 1 detonator per HE len, here’s some of
@nuclearanthro awesome pictures of the Fatman fire set and detonator
This is a moderately trick question... each lens had a single EBW detonator unit, but each of the detonators of the kind used on Fat Man each had two, redundant bridgewires on it (the "sidearms" of the "handlebar") with separate input from a different fireset.pic.twitter.com/Fz0Zvw3Las

Where the diagnostic cables checking the timing of the EBW's?
-
They were for checking detonator simultaneity — they were known as "informer" switches, and would be triggered by the high explosives as they went off.pic.twitter.com/8VatUl9wVV

Uhhhhhhh “where they get it is their business” is there a story behind that?
-
The cable? If we had the type we would know the impedance which is intrestring to this electrical nerd as to how the firing circuit was designed.
-
It's just copper coax cable. The inductance of the cable is 0.09 uh per foot, per Coster-Mullen.

Cool thanks.
