Now as to the discharge and direction
of the torpedo. All being ready. the Of
ficer In charge makes careful calcula-
ton as to distance and direction. These
two points must be settled before anything
else can be successfully accomplished.
Then the signal is given and the operators,
In divers costumes, place the torpedo In
the curiously formed gun and proceed to
regulate the storage battery which every
torpedo contains. so that there will be no
failure OF the current at a critical period.
Naturally the torpedo Is not taken apart
for this purpose. but two tiny levers In
side are operated by means Of electric
buttons. so that everything may be placed
in readiness. Attached to every torpedo is
steering apparatus which Is controlled
by automatic steering from within.
This steering apparatus is so arranged
that when the course Of the torpedo Is
once laid, IT can be set SO that it is kept
upon this course.
When the torpedo is ready and It's course
set. the officer in the dark chamber Of the
camera obscura gives the signal. Almost
with absolute silence the missile starts on
it's momentous journey. until. rising like
