STUDY OF ERRORS IN FIELD ARTILLERY PRACTICE.

Abstract

The purposes of the research were (1) To determine the principal causes of error in reading horizontal angles with the standard M12 panoramic telescope, to develop principles of design to eliminate such sources of error and incorporate these in a practical field instrument; (2) to study the nature and sources of errors in making deflection shifts and to indicate the essential requirements in design and performance of an improved gunner's aid.
