The speed across whether the salvos were falling short, over, or straddling needed an additional calculation. The gunner also needed the target. range to the target, and, once that had been measured, dividing the speed across by the range gave the rate of change of bearing, the rate at which the gun turrets must be rotated to keep the guns on target. 3 The Machinery & Its Operation However, installing a range finder and a Dumaresq (the US Navy called its similar instrument a resolver) on the bridge and giving the gunner a slide rule to divide range into speed across was not sufficient. It was insufficiently accurate, too slow, and it did not do the other calculations required. Besides, it provided only a snapshot of information, with no history of how the information was changing. And it could not provide prediction, for salvo after salvo, as the battle went on, even though the target might become invisible. In World War I, the Royal Navy’s Fire controll table of HMS Belfast (picture from Wikipedia) Dreyer Table, in the transmitting station deep inside the ship, provided this information by plotting ranges and rates The machinery had many parts. There were gears that of change of range and bearing on moving paper graphs, added or subtracted two shaft positions and sent the so that the officer in charge, by analyzing the graphs, output to a third. These were called differentials, because could decide which information best represented the they worked just like the differential gears in a car’s driving target at that moment, and send the information to the axle.
