The Ingenious Gyroscope.
Perhaps the most ingenious con-
trivance in ell at the gyroscope,
,bj
which helps to steer. the toielieid: by • etralght line toward tlie oect:
at Widen it is aimed. It consists of
a thick* dise of copper or bronze,
whielt is made to revolve raprd
a clockwork spring, wound mita* band
Just before the torpedo Is discharg-
ed. Ties spring Is connected with a
lover, or catch, which is releresedby
a contrivance in the torpedo tube
the moment the torpedo begtrie to
slide forward. The gyroscope is bas-
ed on tho well ketiwnfeet that any
heavy wheel or else tends to revive
In the same plane as that in which
it began to revolve, and, offers resist-
ance to ana pressure wlach may try
to change its plaine of revolution.
When the torpedo leaves the torpedo
tubc the gyroscope, is already re-
volving so rapidly that it seems to
be standing still and is revolving at
right angles to the torpedo's line of
elight. If a strong current in the
water or the movement of the tor-
pedo boat at the time the missile is
discharged, or a heavy wave should
deflect the torpedo to right or left
the gyroscope resists the pressure
put on it eo change its•plane of revo-
lution, and ley as resistance releases
0 sprtng, which, acting on a valve
full of compressed air, affects the
vertic,a1 rudder and steers the tor-
pedo back to tha straight line.. ,
