Description: N.P., N.D. (c.1895?) 21cm. Flyer printed to recto only. Robert Whitehead developed the use of the torpedo in 1864, although Robert Fulton was 'experimenting' with underwater explosions as early as 1811. Scott's invention paid especial attention to guidance and retrieval - the flyer notes that this work was patented. As expected, no copy located.
