hello msylbain59 may from argentina good video plis frbre giroscope 👍🙏
Best not to think about whether this unit ever did help to kill people.
Computers like that were also used on battleships. These were much bigger. A presentation can be found: William Barker and the Mk1A Gun Fire Control Computer. // Also, there is a vintage video how computers like that work: U.S. NAVY BASIC MECHANISMS OF FIRE CONTROL COMPUTERS MECHANICAL COMPUTER // If someone gets into battle ships, there is the channel: Tom Scott, The Older One. The old man is climbing through the battleship Texas. There are also presentations on how the canons were made etc. These presentations are well done. // Myself, I worked in maintenance of the German A4 MBT. The computer presented here is a far cry from that. It had hydraulics, shrieking gyros all over the turret. Actually aircraft technology put into a tank. The range scale on the computer here looks like from an aircraft. Probably the style will match with aviation tech of the time.
