A World War I torpedo steering gyroscope, by the Whitehead Torpedo works, Weymouth, marked W&Co, 801, cast in bronze and steel, with coiled steel impulse spring, original carriage and testing mahogany case, marked W & Co, 3303, with winding key en suiteRobert Whitehead (1823-1905) a British engineer working in Austria, developed the self propelled torpedo in the 1850's at the instigation of the Austrian Navy. Initially controlled by a pendulum and hydrostatic device, this was replaced by a sophisticated gyroscopic control gear based on a design patented by Ludwig Obry in 1896. Whitehead purchased the rights to fit this in his torpedoes in 1898 and it remained in service, in various marks of the Whitehead torpedo, right up until the First World War. The gyroscope was fitted with a clockwork coil spring, pre-tensioned to give a starting spin to the gyroscope of 2,400rpm when the torpedo was fired.The Whitehead Torpedo Works was set up at Portland in 1891 and was the world leader in torpedo production until WW1. Purchased from the family on Whitehead's death in 1905 by Armstrong-Whitworth and Vickers, it remained in production until 1966.Gyroscopes ensured torpedoes travelled along a straight line this was one of the most important developments in weapons guidance technology in the late 19th and early 20th century. The gyroscope rotated at high speed and controlled a mechanism which made the torpedo follow a straight, predictable path after firing.
