Excerpt from Handbook of Problems in Direct Fire

IT has been the object in the following pages to give prae tical solutions of all the important problems of gunnery relat ing to direct fire; and to illustrate the solutions by numerous examples, fully worked out in the manner which a considerable experience has shown to be the most simple and concise. For this purpose logarithms are habitually employed in making the numerical computations, as it is believed that by their use a considerable saving of time and labor is effected, and the liability to error reduced to a minimum. In the absence of a table of logarithms, however, nearly all the examples may be worked by simple arithmetic.
