This is a small hardcover handbook seemingly for on-board reference by torpedomen. I own an actual copy. In content it strongly resembles the Torpedo Drill Book 1914.

NOTES
In keeping with the Torpedo Section's focus on providing electrical services and repair for all fittings on the ship, the portions of this manual which touch on telephones and fire control devices are not very good sources for modeling them or grasping entirely their functionality. Rather, the focus is on wiring and electrical components.
