Torpedo Table

Unusual and impressive table that has been made from the tail section of a Cold War era torpedo dating from late 1970’s/early 1980’s. The underside of the tail section shows the serial number, British manufacturer; G.E.C. and MOD label. The torpedo has been stripped and polished and a circular glass top custom made. Sits on 4 milled aluminium disk feet.
The upturned cone shaped section consists principally of those surfaces required to propel the torpedo and to control it whilst travelling through the water:
-Two vertical tail blades with steering rudders fitted to the trailing edge.
-Two horizontal tail blades with depth rudders fitted to the trailing edge.
-Two contra-rotating variable pitch propellers; forward propeller with seven blades, after propeller with five blades.
