Title: Improvements in or relating to the Control of Moveable Bodies such as Torpedoes from a Distance.
Inventor: HAMMOND JOHN HAYS
IPC: F41G7/00
Filed: 1914-08-07
Granted: 1915-04-01
Abstract: 18,408. Hammond, J. H. Aug. 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus. -In a method of controlling from a distance the steering of moving bodies, such as torpedoes, by means of electro-magnetic radiations, the moving body is provided with gyroscopic means to maintain a predetermined direction of movement, and means controlled bv radiant energy serve to correct any errors of the gyroscope. In the system described, the steering-mechanism of a vessel is normally controlled by a gyroscope, but when radiations are received the gyroscope is made inoperative by being locked to the vessel, which is then steered by radiant energy. The steering-mechanism is controlled by the piston 132 of a cylinder 131 connected by ports 151, 152 to passages around a channelled disk 142, which is normally locked to the hull 37 of the vessel and surrounds a shaft 25 kept fixed in direction in space by a gyroscope 112. As long as the vessel keeps the predetermined course, the pressure and exhaust ports 149, 150 in the rod 25 are closed by the ports 147, 148, but when the vessel deflects from its course fluid is admitted to one side or the other of the piston 132, thus adjusting the steering-mechanism. When the controlling- operator wishes to vary the course of the vessel, electro-magnetic radiations are transmitted and cause a solenoid 114 to admit pressure fluid to cylinders 157, 173. The cylinder 157 by attracting the pin 160 unlocks the disk 142 from the hull of the vessel, and the cylinder 173 locks the gyroscope to the hull by means of a pin 184 and forces a wedge-shaped member 182 through a slot 179 in the disk 142, thus preventing relative movement between the disk and the gyroscope and correcting any errors due to creep of the gyroscope.
