Patent GB-190628124-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Steering Apparatus for Automobile Torpedoes.
Inventor: LEAVITT FRANK MCDOWELL
Filed: 1906-12-10
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 28,124. Leavitt, r. M. Dec. 10. Gyroscopic apparatus. -Relates to gyroscopic steering-gear and provides means whereby, in " wide-angle " aiming, the " tactical diameter of the torpedo may be reduced, so that the torpedo C follows the course a, b, Fig. 1, to the target D, instead of the course a<1>, b<1>, that it would follow if controlled by the ordinary " angle - gear." The apparatus is shown in plan in Fig. 4. The gyroscope E is surrounded by an adjustable, but normally fixed, ring F having two contact-strips f, f<1>, and is arranged so as to control the valve H<1> ot the steering - engine H through the double solenoid O, O<1>, one of the coils of which is energized by the current from a battery 4 when the contact-spring g on the gymbal ring d is in contact with either of the strips f, f<1>. The tiller M is connected by a rod M to a lever K pivoted at L and connected to the piston-rod J' of the engine H. The rudder I is thus held over so as to steer the torpedo in the desired direction until the angle turned through is sufficient to bring the zero point h, between the contact strips f, f<1>, opposite the contact-spring g. The torpedo is thereafter steered upon a straight course in the usual manner. The device for reducing the tactical diameter consists of a lever k, which is pressed by a spring k<1> against a cam-surface 7, 6, 8 on the ring F, and is connected by an arm l and tooth l<1> to a slide m upon which the lever K is fulcrumed. When the ring F is set so as to cause the torpedo to be steered through an initial arc, the lever k is rocked by the cam-surface, and the slide m is moved so as to shift the fulcrum L to either of the positions L<1> or L<2>, according to the setting of the ring F, whereby the lever K is moved beyond its normal position and a greater movement is transmitted to the rudder. The movement of the slide m causes the projection 16 to release a contact-spring 14 so that it may engage with the fixed contact 17 in order that, when the angle-steering is completed, an electric circuit may be closed through the contacts 12, 13, battery 4, and electro-magnet p. The arm l is thus attracted and the tooth l<1> withdrawn from the notch in the slide m. The latter is then restored to the normal position by the spring n. In a modification, two rudders are provided, one being controlled by the steering-engine, and the second by the slide m. Other means are also described for connecting the ring F and slide m. The device may be used in conjunction with the steering-apparatus described in Specifications No. 8061, A.D. 1904, or No. 3824, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Ammunition &c.].
