"AMBULANCE 464"

GERMAN TRENCH TORPEDO  The base is made of iron, so molded that the torpedo will break up into 98 squares. It can be shot either from a gun or catapult. It is exploded when the percussion cap on the extreme right strikes the ground. The tin rudders in the rear keep it from turning over in the air. This is the same torpedo, the unloading which is described in the diary of July 8, 1917. Although this particular type weighs only five or six pounds, there are some in use which are one hundred times as heavy. |
