gine room, fter-body and tail.
These sections contain innumerable
complicated mechanisms descrip-
tions of which are beyond the scope
of this article.
The war-head is made of sheet
steel and contains the explosive
charge. 1t has a nose which, on
contact with the target. fires the
charge. The nose is imperative
until the torpedo has run through
the water far enough to allow it to
be armed when propeller arrange
ment withdraws a safety pin. Some
war-heads are also fitted with a de-
vice to disarm the nose should the
torpedo reverse its course and thus
become a source of danger to the
firing ship or its consorts.
For practice purposes, collapsible
head of corresponding weight and
center of gravity is used This type
OF head carries small charge of
calcium phosphide, whose smoke
and fame facilitate locating and
recovering the torpedo.
The air flask is steel chamber
of sufficient strength to contain a
charge of air at pressure ranging
from $500 to 5000 pounds per
square inch. Usually one or both
heads of the flask are made remov-
able so the interior of the flask can
be maintained free from dirt and
rust.
Has Ingenious Device.
The sheet-steel immersion cham
Der is water-tight compartment
that contains the depth gear This
is the ingenious device that White
head perfected to control the tor
pedo in the horizontal plane, and
although the methods of applica-
ton and the engineering features
have been improved again and
again, the principle remains the
same. The gear consists of a pen
dulum and a hydrostatic piston so
interconnected by linkage that the
resultant effect of the two mechan-
isms, acting through an air-oper-
ated steering engine, controls the
horizontal rudders and maintains
the torpedo on the horizontal course
| for which it is set to run. The
hydrostatic piston can be set to a
predetermined spring tension that
corresponds to the water pressure
at the depth the torpedo is to run.
If there is deviation from the set
depth the piston moves in or out as
the case may be and operates the
rudders. Should the torpedo incline
up or down the pendulum assumes
control
But the device does more. Sup
pose the torpedo is too deep and, at
the same time, is inclined nose up.
The piston wants to bring the tor
pedo up, while the pendulum's duty
is to take it down. Whitehead's in
vention takes care of this and sim
liar combinations of circumstances,
the linkage being so contrived that
the proper rudder is always ap-
piled. Most torpedoes can be set
to run at any desired depth between
and so feet below the surface Of
the water.
Patent Creates Claim.
Some years ago the Navy Depart
ment made a comical error in con-
nection with depth gear. An
officer Of the United States Navy
on duty abroad obtained informa-
ton concerning new type of depth
Evening star., 1939-10-29

gear. 1t was sketchy information,
but from the few details he fur
nished designers developed an ex-
cellent gear. After it had been in
stalled in several hundred new tor
pedoes foreign inventor demanded
royalty. 1t had to be paid, because
investigation disclosed the existence
OF a United States patent on the
device. So much for some kinds
of sleuthing
The engine room, made of sheet
steel, contains the propelling unit,
which is operated by compressed
air. The development of the White
head torpedo was undertaken by
the British Navy, which soon intro
duced new power plant. This was
a radial three-cylinder engine
known as the Brotherhood, after
the firm Of that name which de-
signed it. The British still use
development of this engine.
Around the turn of the century
this country produced a torpedo
genius in Frank M. Leavitt, who
invented turbine drive for tor
pedoes. Through the years this de-
vice has been continually improved
and it is now the only propelling
mechanism installed in our tor
pedoes. Previously We had used
several types of torpedoes, having
acquired our first Whitehead in
1883. Thereafter We continued to
use the Whiteheads. manufacturing
them in this country until about
1915, when we turned to the turbine
drive exclusively. In the turbine
unit the stages turn in opposite
directions to prevent a disturbing
turning torque being created, and
an attached train of gears keeps
the stages in step.
Starting Valve Used.
The engine room usually contains
the starting valve. which is actu-
ated when the torpedo begins to
leave the tube. This valve also
starts the gyro. Another device per-
mits the torpedo to be adjusted for
distance and speed. Naturally, the
shorter the distance to be run the
higher the available speed. A
means is provided for causing a
spent torpedo TO sink.
The afterbody, also made from
sheet metal, is watertight to pro-
vide buoyancy, and it contains,
among many other things, the gyro.
Fastened to it is the tail, which is
made from a steel forging. The
tail has large vertical and horizon
tai fins, which help stabilize the tor
pedo on its longitudinal axis. The
vertical and horizontal rudders are
hinged to these fins. Immediately
astern of the tail are two pro-
pellers which revolve in opposite
directions, thus eliminating any
tendency to roll the torpedo or to
produce a side thrust.
When Improvements in torpedoes
gave them ranges of around 1900
yards it became difficult to obtain
straight shots at extreme range,
and means for controlling them in
the lateral direction was sought.
An Austrian named Obry filled this
need with small gyroscope, and

PALS PRACTICE
 FULTON SATURDAY

Smokey" Palladino will lead his North End Pals to the Fulton Park diamond Saturday to practice in preparation for their opening game next week.
 The Pals will again have their two ace southpaws on the hilltop this season in the persons of Bump" Biswiecz and "Ace" Parlipiano two of the outstanding hurlers. in the city. Joe Rinaldi,, who lead the Public Parks in hitting last year practiced with the squad last week and may appear in a Pal suit this year.
 The rest of the squad appears to be the same that did so well last year; they are Ossie Cronan and Jim Egan, candidates for first-base, Irv Benson and "PaI" De Lucia, second basemen, Hennie Chestone at short stop and "Cukes" Petrocine at third. In the outfield the Pals will have Steve Senich, Steve Harvey, John "Yonk" Standisz and some of the defeated players for other positions. The Pals are weak behind the plate but connections are being made to secure a capable backstop.
 Last year the Pals won IA and lost games and with their added hitting punch expect to better their record. The Pals will play home and home games besides their league games on Sunday.
 For games write to Jim Egan, 43 Giles Street.

Another season of golf will ofi- cially begin tomorrow over the beau- tiful Country club of Waterbury course, with the sixth meeting of those doughty rivals of the fairways, Major John M. Burrall and w. R. Reg" Gilman, who will captain their respective teams, the Blues and the Blacks in 40-man team match that will be played in the af- ternoon. The losers will Fay for the dinners to the victors in the eve ming with Steward Charle Pfrommer promising gala spread and the tournament committee, headed by George B. Kerr assuring all and sun- dry great time at the end of a happy day.
 Players are asked to get in touch with the opponents listed below to arrange for starting times, with late entries allowed up to l o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Foursomes are to be made up by the members. Douglas Lunan, three handicap man in British. tournament play, will show with one of the teams to- morrow.
 As for the course, it is in its usual excellent condition, greens keeper Charley Baskin having said that the greens in particular are in better condition than they have been for many seasons.

 Maybe we can get Tunney in there with a black panther?" I suggested. "We'll even let Gene wear 8 vellum set of shakespeare's trge- dies as protection"
 "But," Buck continued as if I weren't there (and I am not abso- 1utely positive that I was) "the toughest, meanest fighter in the jungle is the seladang."
 "The what?" I asked.
 "The seladang or gaur, as the natives call him. He is a jungle buffalo. He'll stand seven feet high at the shoulder, and carries set of horns that will measure 10 inches around at the base of his skull. A seladanz has never lost a fight ex- cept to another seladanz. He'll lick the big cats without even taking off his vest"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-28

New York, April 28. - (UP) = Gene Tunney, the man who discov- cred Shakespeare, has promoted a lot of publicly for himself and his whiskey business lately by claim ing that any really good fighter could knock out Gargantua, the monstrous gorilla of the Ringing circus.
 Speaking in the clipped Delaney Street. Oxford accent that is half his by birth, Tunney named Demp- sey and Galento as two boxfighters who could master the hairy lord of the jungle. At a cocktail party yeS- terday mentioned Tunney's state ment to Frank cebring 'em back alive'D Buck, and that old veteran of the safari all but knocked over g priceless sahib in expressing his amazement. A "sahib," in case you don't know your jungle patois, is the same as "bwana," meaning small stand for holding pith helmets.
 Did Tunney really say that?" Buck said as he collected himself and munched on a bit of skewered satteh.
 "He surely did," answered, as I munched on my sateeh, which tasted so much like barbecued veal that it turned out to be barcecued veal.
 'Well," Buck answered, 'I have st, 5,000 that says Tunney won't walk in a cage with 8 gorilla, lock the door and make one pass at the an- imal. Of course, I would hate to see him take me up. One minute later he would think sixteen grebs were working on him with knives, and that there was an extra, or sev- ennteenth greg, hitting him over the head with pipe I've seen those gorillas in action and they're hot business Not again, Tunney, of course, but I imagine Gene would make them as mad as anything else. I would say that you could pick the 10 greatest heavyweight fighters of all time, throw them in with gorilla, and the gorilla would ruin them all inside of three minutes"
 Later, after pleasant discussion of Malayan peninsular affairs with Bucks No. boy, Amat, I made a sofari across the cocktail filtered lounge to ask Frank to name the toughest animal of them all.
 Pound for pound." he said, "there is nothing like a black panther. He is just 8 middleweight in the animal kingdom, seldom going over 16O pounds, but he'll fight anything on Gods green earth, and love it. I'm telling you, the black panther gets up in the morning and, after a quick shave and a light breakfast, starts

.JOHNSTOWN IS HOT HORSE FOR
 WOOD MEMORIAL
Stamina of Fl Chico to Be Tested at One Mile and
 70 Yards Tomorrow
BY JACK GUENTHER

United Press Stan C0rfeSpOn0ent1
 New York, April 28-The casts big preview of the Kentucky derby will be held at Jamacia tomorrow with William Woodward's Johns town opposing the best three-year- olds on the grounds in the 14th renewal of the Wood memorial, $20O00 stake over a mile and 70 yards.
 The race will end active competi- tion for eligibles for the Mint Julep classic. A small field appeared likely.
 The most logical contenders were Joe w. Browns T. M. Dorsett, Will liam Ziegler's Fl Chico and Our Mat, George Widener's Eight Thirty, Wheatley stables Gilded Knight, Mrs. Ambrose Clark's Lovely Night, Saratoga stables Volitant, Alfred G.. Vanderbit's Impound, and, possibly, Wheatley's Sea Captain.
 One Horse Race?
 Judging from excited talk around the barns and the paddock there may as well be just one horse in the race-Johnstown. Derby odds on the handsome bay have been ham, mered down to 5-2 and bookmakers agree he will start tomorrow as a short-priced favorite.
 Johnstown drew his support from six-length victory last Tuesday in the Woodhaven purse, also a mile and 70 yards. His 1.40-4-5 was two- fifth of a second better than 8 IA year-old Jamacia record and only a fifth short of the world mark. If Gilded Knight starts, he will be coupled with Johnstown. However, both horses are trained by Jim FitSimmons and he may not ap- prove of starting them together un- til they meet in the Preakness. Gild- ed Knight, not eligible for the derby, whipped Fl Chico at six furlongs at Jamacia and then humbled Challe- don and other derby aspirants in the Chesapeake at Havre de Grace.
 Test For Chico
 The Wood will. be the deciding race as well for Ell Chico, the 1888 juvenile champion, and should prove whether the son of John P. Grier has staying qualities or is strictly 8 sprinter. Eight Thirty and Voli- tant, Impound and T. M. Dorsett also must give good account of themselves to retain backing as con- tenders for three-year-old honors. All but Volitant are derby eligibles.
