The Artillery folks take care of pointing and shooting 'em. But somebody has to tell them *how* and *where* to point 'em and shoot 'em, right? From what it says in "Electronic Computers Within the Ordnance Corps" Index: http://ftp.arl.mil/~mike/comphist/61ordnance/index.html the computation/preparation of firing tables was the primary official reason for the design and construction of ENIAC. Did the Historical Officer at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds get it wrong? Sunnuvagun! HAW! Perfect setuo! boom boom 73 de Jim, N2EY |
