STUDY OF ERRORS IN FIELD ARTILLERY PRACTICE

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to make preliminary observations on the nature, source and magnitude of errors which occur in Field Artillery practice and to outline a plan for further study designed to determine: (1) the causes and relative frequency of errors from different sources; (2) the relative influence of errors from various sources upon effectiveness and density of artillery fire; (3) the degree of improvement in effectiveness of artillery fire which can be expected from proposed changes in instruments and procedures.
