On the Misuse of Field Artillery Firing Tables

Abstract

This report explains the intimate relationship between firing tables and the techniques of fire used to attack targets. Probable error and accuracy of fire are also explained. The differences between precision probable error and mean point of impact probable error are given and the influence of both of these errors on accuracy of fire is demonstrated.
