Type 9 wooden anti - tank mine The Type 9 wooden anti - tank mine was an Italian bar type anti - tank mine used during World War II in North Africa . The box consisted of a lower section , containing the large warhead and fuzes and an upper , overlapping lid with two pivoting wooden covers that sat over the two fuzes . The fuzes were designed as a pivoting lever , and downward motion of the lid caused the lever to pull back a striker , compressing a striker spring until the pivoting action moved the lever enough to release the striker . The striker then impacted a blank cartridge , firing it , triggering a detonator charge , followed by the main charge . Used primarily at junctions and road - blocks , because of the width of coverage it provided , the mine sensitivity could be adjusted between approximately 20 pounds of triggering pressure to 500 pounds by inserting small wooden blocks under the rim of the lid .
