Synopsis
New insight into air resistance and projectile trajectories that informed military ballistics
This edition presents Francis Bashforth’s revised account of the experiments using the Bashforth chronograph to measure how air resistance affects projectile motion.
It explains the development of reliable resistance laws for spherical and elongated projectiles across a wide speed range, and shows how these findings feed into accurate trajectory calculations.
With careful recalculation and alignment of coefficients, the work provides comprehensive tables suited to both English and French measures. It discusses the practical limits of certain laws at high speeds and elevations, and it explains the drift factors that influence long-range firing. The text also references how these results compare with other key methods in ballistics, offering context for practitioners and students alike.
- Revised coefficients of air resistance for spherical and ogival projectiles
- General and range tables to calculate trajectories under various conditions
- Discussion of wind, drift, and elevation effects on long-range shots
- Explanation of methodology and experimental foundations for ballistic calculations
Ideal for readers with an interest in the science and history of ballistics, artillery research, and advanced trajectory computation.

A Revised Account of the Experiments Made With the Bashforth Chronograph
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed account of research conducted to determine the impact of resistance on projectiles fired from guns. Prior to the work in this book, the law of resistance of the air to spherical projectiles was only determined for velocities between 900 and 1700 feet per second. However, the author's experiments expanded this knowledge to include velocities between 100 and 2800 feet per second. The author also recalculated previous tables for easier use and adapted the work to incorporate both French and English measures. The extensive experiments presented here were influential in the development of weaponry and ballistics and remain an essential reference for anyone interested in the history and science of projectiles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527799226_0
