propeller at the extreme point OF the
torpedo is part Of an ingenious safety
device for preventing premature eX.
plOsion in handling. When not in use
the firing pin is held in check by a
sleeve; but as soon as the torpedo
strikes the water. the rotation of the
little propellers releases the sleeve and
leaves the firing pin ready 10 strike

torpedo meets an obstruction.
The secret chamber" is the most
ingenious part of this most ingenious
piece OF mechanism. Its piston, pen

pOrtant work of regulating the hori-
zontal rudders which keep the torpe-
DO at the proper depth. Immediately
In front OF the secret chamber is a
narrow compartment perforated on its
walls TO allow the outside water 10

chamber carries a piston, which can
move in the direction Of the axis Of
the torpedo. The pressure Of the wa
ter is resisted by three coilnd springs.
At a certain predetermined depth. ac-
cOrding 10 the tension on the springs,
the springs and water pressure will
be in equilibrium; below that depth
the piston will be driven in by the wa
ter pressure, and above il the springs
Will push forward the piston. To pre-
vent too sudden oscillation in this ac-
