Torpedo depth keeping / pendulum device.

[Michel]

Thought I share this because they do not turn up much. It is a Torpedo depth keeping device of the pendulum typ. This one is pre ww1 make and I’m almost sure it is of British manufacture. Almost always this part is broken away if recovered from the water. The rubber from the bellows are gone and marks are not found on both relics. Strange one would expect some marks.

Here's one from a British Mk VIII torpedo - from memory, this one had an experimental control box attached.
