Summary: Detailed description of the procedure for a major service of the F5b torpedo.
Description: (Reels 1 and 2) The commentary first lists the occasions when major services are to be carried out. General checks are made on screws and filters and various parts are oiled. The front half of the torpedo is removed and further checks are made on the internal mechanisms. The torpedo is then connected up to a compressed air source and checks are made on the operation of the motor and vertical guidance system with any necessary adjustments.
(Reels 3 and 4) Elaborate checks are then made on the gyroscopic control system, with the torpedo mounted on a turntable and being swung back and forth. Further tests are carried out on the practice warhead and the running of the motor. Finally the whole system is tested for air leaks.
