UNITED STATES HAS
MOST EFFECTIVE TOHi’KDO
WASHINGTON, I). C., Feb. 11.—
The United States Naval Consulta
tion Board, of which Thomas A. Ed
ison is chairman, has announced that
the United States navy has the most
effective torpedo of any nation in
the world. The radio-controlled tor.
pedo, of which John Hays Hammond,
Jr., is the inventor, is declared by
Edison to be the most effective
weapon of destruction against ships
the world has ever known.
The Hammond invention, which is
being carefully guarded to prevent
the secret being stolen by agents of
foreign governments, gives the
American navy a tremendous advan
tage over that of any other nation.
According to the report of the con
sultation board the radio-controlled
torpedo can be discharged at any
angle or in any direction and made
to hit its mark or return to the point
of discharge. ,
The consultation board has recom
mended that congress appropriate
five million dollars for the establish- I
ment of a laboratory and experiment
station where inventions for increas
ing the efficiency of the navy could
be worked out and tested. It ig’ re
ported that Edison has invented a
new motor power for submarines,
which will increase the speed of the
-easels and provide greater safety
from engine trouble than anything
heretofore known to science.
Edison has prepared the plans for
the naval laboratory for which con
gress will he asked to appropriate
the five million dollars The plans
for the buildings were drawn under
the personal supervision of Mr. Ed
ison at his own expense, and were
submitted to the committee yester
day with the report of the consulta
tion board.
