So far as the stationary torpedoes are
concerned, methods are quite well settled
mad the practice has been reduced to a
science, one, however, which requires a
"s . i 1 i i i i i m .
application. The. automobile J torpedo
, involves problems that are a worthy sub
ject for the exercise of the highest elec
trical skill So far as the Whitehead
j -i - - - . j i i
concerned, there ia not much to be dono,
electrically speaking, for a torpedo of
that class ia purely a missile discharged
from a gun, but supplied with means for
,yntinrir its course to an efficient dis-
aoe under water.
Inasmuch as a Ugh Initial velocity
does not agree with powerful explosives,
the falling off in velocity would be too
marked if any long range were attempt
ed. With dirigible torpedoes, however,
the vase Is very different. Then one
must depend on electricity for steering
if not for motive power, and there is
room for considerable improvement both
in speed and certainty of operation, two
prime essential. But the function of
the electrician is by no means ended with
torpedo service, for in the equipment of
any modern uian-of-war the electrical
apparatus plays h very important part.
The modern gun, twenty to forty feet
in length, with corresponding weight,
Cannot be handled by man power as
quickly as' the exigencies of service
ometiiues require, and the .choice lies
between electricity on the one hand and
r iiy&rinilio machinery or donkey engines
. on the other. The. latter have been very
freely in use; the former has made its
influence felt often enough to show that
it is fully up to its work. The electric
- motor is undoubtedly better suited to
such sort of work than any othe kind
f mechanism.
THK SEARCH LIGHT.
Since the introduction of secondary
batteries every bit of, working mechan
ism is expoxed to a formidable fire and
must be protected at all hazards. Here
the motor, from its very small size, of
fers a particularly difficult target, and
besides can be ensconced behind the gun
shield or even behind the gun itself, so.
that nothing short of a blow sufficient to
disable the latter would cripple the
. motor, and in addition the means of
communicating power to the said motor
are very unobtrusive and exceedingly
easy to duplicate.
It ia u perfectly simple matter to sup
ply it through half a dozen different cir
cuits in parallel with each other, all of
which would have to be shot off before
. the motor went even temporarily ont of
nse. Even then an electric wire can be
handled with such ease and ' rapidity
- that temporary communication would
be re-established very readily although
-ander fire, while if' a Bteain,or water
ui mci r wuuiu w no
- replacing it during action. .
The search light, too, comes in for its
snare or attention, both as a weapon of
defense and offense, and more attention
should be given it than has yet beet,
done. The destruction of a search light
during a torpedo attack would be a very
serious calamity, and when one remem
bers that torpedo boats are usually sup
plied with rapid (ire guns, such a possi
bility is by no means remote. '
BA.NUEK PUOM RAPID FIRING OUNS.
From a 37-millimeter revolving can
non a size frequently used for the pur
. pose nearly a shot m - second can be
. fired, and at half or three-fourths of a
mile the accuracy of this weapon is so
great as to render hits quite probable,
and a single projectile or a fragment of
- a shell would stand a good chance of
putting a search light out of use. All
this points to a reduplication of the ap
paratus on a considerably more extended
scale than had usually been the habit,
and besides all this there ia a question
of. communication between different
. parts of the. ship.: and especially with
the conning tower, and here, as every-,
where, . the convenience of electricity.
the readiness with which circuits can be
multiplied and re-established make its
nse almost imperative. .
In case of war the electrician will find
plenty to do. both in the way of routine
work and improvements, and may play
part of great importance. Electrical
