THE BRAIN OF
It has lieen stated that much of thu
.Japanese success in naval lights
around Port Arthur was due to the
gyroscope. This is a delicate appa
ratus for keeping a torpedo straight In
ltu course, even through a distance of
2,tiOO yards. It is a small weighted
wheel-like object, curcfullj suspended
on gynibols In the buoyancy chamber
I of tlie torpedo. Attached to Its axis
is a tleel spring connected with tho
tooth gearing. A rod to the air lover
actuates It. When the lever is thiown
buck tho spring Is released, and the
gyroscope spins around nt tho rate of
2,'JOO revolutions a minute. In his
book on "Torpedoes and Torpedo Yes.-
hels" Lieut. Armstrong of the British
navy says:
"The gyroscope works a servo
motor, actuating a pair of movable
vertical rudders placed In recesses In
the vertical fins. These rudders, bo
It remembered, are therefore supple

rudders ordinarily fitted, but which
may be discarded If a gyroscope Is
being used. If now, the torpedo from
