I googled "torpedo gyroscopes" and came up with nothing. Learned a
little about the history of torpedoes though. After a while I tried
"timing devices" and came up with a really small blurb in a Navy usenet
group about Schaffhausen. I googled Schaffhausen and came up with
http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/a...helmreich.html
which made no mention of the factory but it was just too darn
coincidental. Besides, the country was pretty darn neutral, which
allows them to sell product to either side of the war. Although,
according to the article, they were selling / providing a bunch more to
the axis than the allies. So you are right Art, I peeked / cheated a
little!


Ah you sly dog you. (grin)
