Second, compressed air tank containing 1,350 pounds of air to drive the propellers. Third, balance compartment from which project horizontal planes. Fourth, engine compartment containing turbine type motor driven by com- pressed air. Fifth, buoyancy compartment hold- ing enough air to keep torpedo from sinking and make it easily propelled.

The torpedo also has horizontal and perpendicular rudders which may be set at any angle, and strong twin propellers, PHOTO C INTERNATIONAL FILM SERVICE, INC. No. 13.
