Bunbury Enemy Torpedo Calculator
From The Dreadnought Project
The Bunbury Enemy Torpedo Calculator was a Torpedo Control instrument conceived and tested alongside the similar Crace Enemy Torpedo Calculator in 1914-1916.[1]
History and Deployment
Six examples of both the Crace and Bunbury devices were manufactured for testing with flagships. The six Bunbury units were to be tried in H.M.S. Emperor of India (1913), H.M.S. Iron Duke (1912), H.M.S. Lion (1910), H.M.S. Marlborough (1912), H.M.S. Barham (1914), and H.M.S. Orion (1910). The device was described in the Handbook for Torpedo Control, 1915 and in a special pamphlet.[2]
The trials were completed in 1917, and it was decided that there was little to differentiate between Crace and Bunbury alternatives.[3]
