Wood and lay torpedo. The body of the Ericsson torpedo consists of a box of thin steel plates, 8 feet 6 inches long, 30 inches deep, and 20 inches wide The explosive is placed at the bow. The propellers are two-bladed, 3 feet 2 inches in diameter, with a pitch of 5 feet. Both revolve around a common center in opposite directions. The motive power is a small double-cylinder oscillating-engine, driven by compressed air, which is supplied by a 25 horse power steam engine on shore, and transmitted through a tubular cable, connected just abaft the stern, as shown in Fig. 6558.
