The Torpedo Director Pattern 1895 was a British torpedo director used in early torpedo craft featuring a 60 degree arc.

It was very similar to the Pattern 1193. If a Pattern 1895a existed, it was similar, but made stronger in its pivots and sighting bar.[1]

Curiously, the 1895 lacked graduations on its sighting arm.[2]

In 1909, those used with heater torpedoes had their scales regraduated at 2/3rds scale to allow for the faster torpedoes.[3]
