Clock for Torpedominen

The content description of the diaries covers what we are looking for so hopefully should contain a detailed description of the mine and an account of the activity:
[edit]
It might worth a shot also this file, I know there are accounts of riverine operations in there: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11199840
WO 208/5538 is a 16-page folder with description of the organisation and personell of MK 700. It has relevance to the item in question.

Good afternoon Natter, I have the few pages you're referring to (same online source as your) but I count 22 files in that folder, given the tight binding of the pages I was hoping for a larger file. Are you sure is that small?

Sorry. Yes, it is obviously not the complete WO 208/5538 folder, which is a collection of special interrogation reports (S.I.R.) of german POW's (99 reports in all: S.I.R. 1100-1199).
This short file contains S.I.R. 1124, a report from interrogation of 10 POWs from MK 700. I can't see a reason to think there would be more of relevance on the topic - especially technical information on weapons - in this folder?
It's easy enough to obtain the complete folder for verification, but I have a long list of material of much higher priority from TNA, so I would not spend money on it.
