axis the mercury is collected at the
end Of the tube which is nearest the
axis, but it flows to the peripheral
end OF the tube when the rotation Of
the wheel carries the blade below the
axis.
Now if a blade is arrested at the
contact position in which it is very
slightly inclined downward, the mer-
curry flows slowly through the long
curved tube from the inner to the out
er end. which it must reach in order
to effect the closure of the correspond
ing circuit. The transit occupies about
FIVE seconds. Hence if the successive
impulses which rotate the wheel arg
made at intervals less than five sec
onds. none of the circuits which op-
crate the torpedo is closed until the
desired blade has reached the contact
position and has been allowed to re
main there longer than five seconds
Each operating circuit terminates in
one Of the rings shown on the axis Of
/ the wheel
With a wheel Of eight blades, two
OF which are used to make and break
the circuit Of the magnet which drives
the wheel, the torpedo can be inhu
enced in six ways. Thus, its motoi
can be accelerated, retarded, O
stopped. and its rudder turned to righ
or left. or straight astern. The arriya
of each blade at the contact position
is instantaneously made known by tn
lighting Of an electric lamp, so tha
/ the operator on ship or shore can TO
low the operations, and he has nv
seconds in which to correct a mistak
in signaling.
Greater precision in guiding to-
pedoes to their goal has been attaine
by this wireless electric method tina
BY any other system yet devised. Tn
same method is evidently applicable
the control of machinery at a distan'
in factories, in airships, on raj
ways. etc.

This apparatus includes a device by
which the different signals are caused
to operate the propelling and steering
