NEW TORPEDO GUN
plEASES THE EXPERTS
Commander Davis Wsapun Is Tested
| at Boston

Boston, Mass. (SpeciaD. - Ord
nance experts of the Army and Navy
expressed great satisfaction at the
performance of the new Davis tor
pedo gun, invented by Commander
Cleland Davis, U. s. N. The tests
were made at Fort Strong, Boston
harbor; the first part of last week,
three of the projectiles being fred.
and in every test the target was
overturned. Brigadier General MUIR
ray, chief of artillery, was among
the officers who witnessed the tests.
The Davis torpedo is q combina-
ton gun and projectile in itself, and
is effective at at least 5000 feet,
having its own motive power, similar
to that on the ordinary Whitehead
torpedo. The projectile is in two
parts. It is As centimeters in diam
eter and five meters long. The outer
tube is about two-thirds the length
of the inner torpedo, and behind
the torpedo proper is 40 pounds of
high explosive. When the nose of
the projectile comes In contact with
any obstacle which stops its progress
preferably the enemy's ship-the
conclusion, no matter how slight,
sets of that 40 pounds of explosive.
The explosion drives the projectile
through the object struck and at
the same time starts time fuse
that causes the torpedo proper to
explode few seconds later. 1t is
this double action that gives the
Davis projectile IFS great value. The
two objective points in aiming at
the enemy's vessel are naturally the
magazine and engine-room. If the
magazine Is struck, the result is OBJ
vious; If the engine-room receives
the force Of the blow, the least that
can happen is to stop all the ma
chinery of the vessel and make the
ship so defenseless as canoe.
Commander Davis has been work
ing on his idea for the past two
years, and for a year he was baked
by the want of metal that would
hold when the first 40 pounds of
explosion let go. His first tube
weighed 1000 pounds and was so
heavy that he could not float it to
the objective point. Then he began
experimenting with steel processes
in an effort to find something that
strength together with lightness. He
found what he wanted in vanadium,
combined with chromium and nickle.
The result that the tube used today
weighs 80 pounds instead of 1000.
and still gives the tensile strength
necessary to hold when 40 pounds
of high explosive is ignited. This
low weight was found only after
intricate and trying experiments at
the Bethlehem Steel Works under
the direction of Commander Davis.
Several more tests of the torpedo
gun were made later in Boston Har-
Dor. One torpedo was fired at
target off Sheep Island and it accom-
.plished the object of the inventor,
passing through the target without
decorating the real charge, the
thickness and the resistance of the
target resisting the outer and inner
bottoms, and three bulkheads of a
battleship. Ofiicials of both the
Army and Navy and others interested
in the experiments were witnesses
of the test.
