During my recent visit to U-995 in Laboe, I have taken some pics of the TDC in the museum. I have a pretty good understanding of how it works, but its the first time I see it in person. And I stumbled upon something I didn't know about:
Here's a photo of the Gyro Angle Indicator main dial (there's another one for units) - Torpedo Lauf Winkel

The thing that puzzles me is the addition of some sort of salvo indicator, with spreads for 2,3 and 4 torpedoes salvoes. Aparently this doesn't rotate, so can only be read on the ~270 degrees position.
What am I missing here?
