next question: the only important number which comes out is the gyro-angle, because that's needed by the torpedo. how did that value get transferred into the torpedo? was there a guy in the torpedo room who read the gyro angle off a gauge and 'programmed' the torpedo just before shooting or was it done automatically?
It was done automatically. There was an interface in the torpedo tube that was linked to the TDC. As you changed the values in the TDC, it was relayed automatically to the torpedo in the tube.
