Time Fuse in a Box and a Model of a Torpedo, 1810 demonstration model Time infection mechanism in a round brass house, closed on one side with a blind flange with leather gasket on which an inscription. The time infection mechanism itself consists of a flint lock with timepiece. De Haan, which is constantly kept under tension by the Slagveer on the tumbler in the foot, is retained by a lever (the rod) forged in a hook at the head of the rooster; Tumbler and rod are separated. The rod is held in place with an extension that rests on a disc with a notch. This disk is mounted on a levernon and runs under the influence of the timepiece: if the notch reaches the extension of the rod, it tilts and the rooster is released. A blocking mechanism has been applied to the house: a pen that sticks through the side presses a feather against a gear at the foot of the Verton and thus blocks the timepiece. The pen is pushed out through the spring, but can be held in place by a rod by two eyes applied outside on the house; This rod is missing. The aim of this blocking mechanism was that the timepiece could be set in motion by removing the rod. The Zundgat is located in the bottom of the house and comes out, where the whole was mounted on a torpedo. The torpedo, given by the wooden model, is a cylinder with rounded ends and a rectangular box (a float) on top. The inflammatory mechanism is indicated on one of the round ends, the lock and timepiece with ink. A second, separate float in the form of a rectangular box is connected to the torpedo, as well as a harpoon. The attacked ship was rigged and then passed the torpedo under its progress through the water. New York (city) wood (plant material). brass (alloy). iron (metal). leather. rope. paper.
