the definition in Treccani of a graduatore is
Il mezzo che serve a graduare; in partic., in artiglieria, strumento usato per regolare la spoletta a tempo dei proiettili, generalmente azionato a mano da un servente (chiamato anch’esso graduatore), o per mezzo di telecomandi dalla centrale di tiro.
The definition in Italian is spot on but I cannot find an English term meaning the same thing. Any ideas?

fuse-setter (or fuze-setter): name for a small, cylindrical brass tool with a wooden turning-handle on top, and a shallow cup measuring 2.1 inches wide with a countersunk recess 0.3 inches deep at its bottom, which could be used to hold and screw a Bormann time-fuse into a shell hole, thus affixing it as an in-flight detonating-charge. Different models of fuse-setters, that substituted a simple flat top for its larger and more elaborate pre-war recessed cup, would be produced during the Civil War years

The performance of the new guns was limited by their standard fuse No 199, with a 30-second running time, although a new mechanical time fuse giving 43 seconds was nearing readiness. In 1939 a Machine Fuse Setter was introduced to eliminate manual fuse setting.
