production table help
 

Could someone help me better grasp the following. As I understand Zugang / Verbraucht / Bestand an Front-Torpedo, the columns mean How many were accessable / How many were used / How many were available at the front.

The problem I am having is that the table I am looking at (Table 5, p.37, from Die Lufttorpedo) seems to indicate that on certain months consumption exceeded the number accessable. Ie:

1941
Feb 1 / 6/ 83
Mar 6 / 52/ 37
Sep 40/ 49/ 138

Unfortunately I only have a copy of the table, not the entire book so I can not check the figures against reserves. However, if reserves were accessed I would assume that they would be included in the Zugang column, which, if my assumptions and poor translations skills are right, are not.

TIA

Hi.

The term Zugang does not indicate how many that were accessable or available, but rather how many new were delivered!

So for example for February 1941, 1 new torpedo was delivered (during the month), 6 were used (during the month) and the total was 83 (probably at the months end).

Andreas
