Campbells Nautilus Torpedo Boat Design Described
The unnamed inventor, possibly Mr Campbell, outlines a cigar shaped steel submarine with adjustable ballast drums to rise or sink at will. Propelled by electric engines from storage batteries, it can move at ten knots, supply air for six men for three days, and surface instantly if ballast is released. Experiments suggest the British government may order several sizes.
