Description: 1970s Librascope Watercolor Aerospace Illustration Submarine Launch Torpedo 1970s Librascope Watercolor Aerospace Illustration Submarine Launch Torpedo Click image to enlarge Description Original watercolor illustration of a submarine launching a torpedo and missile from an exterior rear wing created by Singer Librascope in the 1970s for either its internal corporate magazine Librazette or a publicity brochure promoting its scientific ideas and developments, 12 by 7 inches (17 by 12 inches matted), signed by the illustrator "Green" in the lower left, in very good condition. On the back is a Singer Librascope stamp. I do not believe this method of launch was ever implemented in submarines. Librascope was formed in 1937 in Glendale, California as a company to create and sell a computer-like machine that balanced weight in airplanes. During World War II, the company began to develop systems to launch and control torpedos from submarines. Singer purchased Librascope in 1968 and turned it into a world leader in advanced tactical information and weapon control systems. Its launch and control products were ultimately employed in every missile and torpedo in the United States military, Singer sold Librascope in the mid-1980s. The company still exists as an integrated part of Lockheed Martin Federal Systems. (There is a wonderful promotional film of products produced by Singer Librascope in 1983 on You Tube that has sequences of submarine missile launches.)
