Wraps. Condition: Good. vii, [1], 307, [5] pages. Illustrations. Fold-out. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some page discoloration at edges. This book was written for the purpose of aiding in the promotion of Fire Controlman 3c to Fire Controlman 2c. The use of this text must be accompanied by the actual operation of Fire Control equipment. Because of the extensive requirements in the qualifications for Fire Controlman 2c, it was found advisable to divide the material into three distinct volumes. This book, designated as Volume 2, is devoted to information on the remote control of guns by means of synchros, servos, and power drives. The qualifications for this position can be found in the appendix at the back of this book. Volume 2 begins with an explanation of the fundamentals of director control. Chapters on synchros and follow-ups lead into discussions of the amplidyne, York Safe & Lock, and Ford power drive systems. This book represents the joint endeavor of the training Courses Section of the Bureau of Naval Personnel and of those Naval establishments especially cognizant of the technical aspects of Fire Control. During their long service life, rangekeepers were updated often as technology advanced, and by World War II they were a critical part of an integrated fire control system. The incorporation of radar into the fire control system early in World War II provided ships the ability to conduct effective gunfire operations at long range in poor weather and at night. A fire-control system (FCS) is a number of components working together, usually a gun data computer, a director and radar, which is designed to assist a ranged weapon system to target, track, and hit a target. It performs the same task as a human gunner firing a weapon, but attempts to do so faster and more accurately. The original fire-control systems were developed for ships. The early history of naval fire control was dominated by the engagement of targets within visual range (also referred to as direct fire). Rapid technical improvements in the late 19th century greatly increased the range at which gunfire was possible. Rifled guns of much larger size firing explosive shells of lighter relative weight (compared to all-metal balls) so greatly increased the range of the guns that the main problem became aiming them while the ship was moving on the waves. This problem was solved with the introduction of the gyroscope, which corrected this motion and provided sub-degree accuracies. Guns were now free to grow to any size, and quickly surpassed 10 inches caliber by the 1890s. These guns were capable of such great range that the primary limitation was seeing the target, leading to the use of high masts on ships. Another technical improvement was the introduction of the steam turbine which greatly increased the performance of the ships. Combined with the long range of the guns, this meant that the target ship could move a considerable distance, several ship lengths, between the time the shells were fired and landed. In naval engagements it is also necessary to control the firing of several guns at once. Naval gun fire control potentially involves three levels of complexity. Local control originated with primitive gun installations aimed by the individual gun crews. Director control aims all guns on the ship at a single target. Coordinated gunfire from a formation of ships at a single target was a focus of battleship fleet operations. Corrections are made for surface wind velocity, firing ship roll and pitch, powder magazine temperature, drift of rifled projectiles, individual gun bore diameter adjusted for shot-to-shot enlargement, and rate of change of range with additional modifications to the firing solution based upon the observation of preceding shots. The resulting directions, known as a firing solution, would then be fed back out to the turrets for laying. If the rounds missed, an observer could work out how far they missed by and in which direction, and this information could be fed back into the computer along with any changes in the rest of the information and another shot attempted.

This book was prepared as a basic reference for those enlisted men of the Navy whose duties required them to read and use blueprints. a knowledge of blueprint reading is of major importance to those men in the artificer and seaman branches responsible for the operations, maintenance, and repair of equipment. Whether the job involves work on engines, gun mounts, boilers, steering gear, winches, or computers, the Navy technician consults blueprints for the information he needs to keep the gear and equipment in shipshape condition. the book begins with a broad picture of the uses and kinds of blueprints. It explains fully the language of the blueprint--lines, sections, symbols, dimensions, conventions, notes, and titles. Emphasis is placed on the reading and use of orthographic detail drawings and the proper procedure to follow when making layouts on material. One practice layout job is described step-by-step, and another is inserted as a challenge to the reader. A blueprint is a reproduction of a technical drawing or engineering drawing using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets. Introduced by Sir John Herschel in 1842, the process allowed rapid and accurate production of an unlimited number of copies. It was widely used for over a century for the reproduction of specification drawings used in construction and industry. The blueprint process was characterized by white lines on a blue background, a negative of the original. The process was not able to reproduce color or shades of grey. This is a simple process for the reproduction of any light transmitting document. Engineers and architects drew their designs on cartridge paper; these were then traced on to tracing paper using India ink for reproduction whenever needed. The tracing paper drawing is placed on top of the sensitized paper, and both are clamped under glass, in a daylight exposure frame, which is similar to a picture frame. The frame is put out into daylight, requiring a minute or two under a bright sun, or about ten minutes under an overcast sky to complete the exposure. Where ultra-violet light is transmitted through the tracing paper, the light-sensitive coating converts to a stable blue or black dye. Where the India ink blocks the ultra-violet light the coating does not convert and remains soluble. The image can be seen forming. When a strong image is seen the frame is brought indoors to stop the process. The unconverted coating is washed away, and the paper is then dried. The result is a copy of the original image with the clear background area rendered dark blue and the image reproduced as a white line.
