Integrating Accelerometers Used on the German V-2 (A-4) Missile

Abstract

The integrating accelerometers used on the German V-2 (A-4) missile provide signal for cut-off of the rocket fuel at a predetermined velocity so that the range of the missile may be controlled. The accelerometers described are of two types: (1) the mechanical system integrated acceleration using the principle of a processing gyro. (2) the electrolytic system integrates acceleration by means of electroplating cells.
