The 14-in R.L. Mark VII Torpedo was an early British torpedo. Some of these were referred to as "Leeds torpedoes", which likely means they were manufactured by Greenwood and Batley.[Inference]
Mark VII*
Australia and Undaunted complained in 1890 that some Mark VII* Leeds torpedoes were defective due to bolts being sheared, causing bottoming and other malarkey. These parts were noted as being stronger in the newer Mark VIII torpedoes.[1]
