I believe rods went into the tube and into the torpedo that rotated to set the information into the torpedoes. They were automatically rotated based on info from the TDC or they could be manually set. They were withdrawn prior to firing.
In pictures of torpedoes I've seen, you can see the holes where the rods go into the torpedo.
