Two Historical Firing Methods: Ausdampfverfahren and Auswanderungsverfahren

Just tried my 2nd attempt at the Auswanderungsverfahren method and whoah, I think this is one method to keep. First attempt I botched up but the 2nd hit home. Took a bit of studying the video and I wrote down on paper my own version of the steps for quick reference.

Two things I wonder about:
Is this method dependent on fast setting for the torpedo or will it work equally well on any speed setting?

Where does the number 1820 come from? I understand it's there to convert from metric to nautical units but 1820 is not a number that rings any bell. I was expecting 1852 but for some reason, 1820 seems to work splendidly.
