The conformation of the catapult tube is similar to that used in Brunel's atmospheric railway (and presumably the Irish one that predated it), but the sealing strip is all steel.

I suppose they have adequate electrical power but I understood they still used steam. Schnaz ( talk) 00:16, (UTC) Reply This appears to be a "manual" for a steam catapult, with detailed drawings of all the elements. I don't think the color depth is that important, since even four colors would probably be sufficient to get the point across. This would be better than what we have now, which is precisely nothing.- Quicksilver T 00:50, 21 April 2010 (UTC) Reply I will see whether I can dig up a drawing that's at least 300 dpi. Once a clean scan is available, a Wikipedian with an artistic bent could either clean it up more, or use it for the basis of an SVG line illustration. Is there any way it could be re-uploaded as a PNG file, 24-bit color (16.7 million colors) at 300 dpi or better resolution, so that even the smallest text is readable? Stay away from JPEG, due to loss of detail from compression artifacts, and GIF, as that format is limited to 256 colors and also results in pixel artifacts when colors are dithered. It's of such low quality that it's virtually useless. Is this the drawing in question? It's been sitting there unlinked since 31 August 2006, but I don't see any evidence of the "fair-use nazis" quashing it. Schnaz 22:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC) Reply But I guess unless I prove that, the image can't be used. I've had it in my archives for 20 years, and I'm 99.9 percent certain it was provided to the US Navy under a contract, which means it's Uncle Sam's, which means it's in the public domain. EdC 13:53, 2 September 2006 (UTC) Reply The image that I uploaded didn't pass muster.

Don't worry about whether it is good enough as long as it's factually correct other editors will be able to improve it. Then, include in the article an image link: e.g. Schnaz 15:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC) Reply Use the "Upload file" link on the sidebar to the left (in the "toolbox" section) to upload it to Wikipedia you will need to release it under an appropriate license.

I have a color drawing showing the internal subsystems of a steam cat, but I do not know how to incorporate it in the article or whether it is good enough for incorporation.
