IIRC, The data (AoB, gyroangle, speed, depth...) from the "TDC" was transferred via small rotating axles (inside the tube), that were connected top of the torpedoes before launching. Just prior the launch, those axles were disconnected (upwards) and then compressed air just pushed torpedo out of the tube and torpedoes own propulsion fired.
