The Middleton Plotter was a torpedo control device conceived by Lieutenant J. R. Middleton and described in Annual Reports of the Torpedo School.[1][2] As of 1915, two sets of the equipment were still under construction, at least one of which the Torpedo School intended to see trialled in HM.S. Iron Duke. Rice's Torpedo Automatic Sight was viewed as a contingent system to be developed in case Middleton's proved unsatisfactory.[3]
