The Torpedo Director Pattern 1192 was a large, semi-circular British torpedo director.

It was created sufficiently early that it was no longer used in any modern ships as of 1912.[1]

If a Pattern 1192a existed, it was similar, but made stronger in its pivots and sighting bar.[2]

As of 1916, it was noted as being in use in the H.M.S. Pelorus class, and its semi-circular nature related to its employment as a "broadside director".[3]

Some were fitted with Tangent Bars and regraduated to 2/3rd scale for use from TBD fore bridges and heater torpedoes.[4]
