From what I've read, most USN crews used an interval of 8 to 10 seconds.

I don't think Gryffon300 was trying for super quick launchings; but rather not having to fiddle and funble with game dials, in between torps. If you try to fire a spread of four torps, while having to change the depth and offset dials for each one, how long would this take? Maybe 35 or 40 sec., or more? Rather a long time to finish your spread. If you had the dials pre-set, you could use a 8 sec. interval, and be done in 24 sec.
