The Torpedo Director Pattern 1192, sometimes referred to as a "broadside director"[1], was a large, semi-circular British torpedo director designed for use with training broadside tubes. It entered service at some point prior to 1905.[2]
It was no longer used in any modern ships as of 1912.[3]
If a Pattern 1192a existed, it was similar, but made stronger in its pivots and sighting bar.[4]
As of 1916, it was noted as still being in use in the H.M.S. Pelorus class.[5]
Adaptation
Some were fitted with tangent bars and regraduated to 2/3rd scale for use from TBD fore bridges and heater torpedoes.[6]
