Kerrison Predictor
The "Kerrison Predictor" demonstrated in France March 1940. Standing extreme right: Col Kerrison (UK). The gun is of the early British type (Nuffield 1939).
Electro-hydraulic power-control units (known as "oil gears") were mounted on the gun carriage and linked by an electrical data transmission system to the mechanical director (box right) wich computed the firing data as it tracked the target. The "Kerrison Predictor" was considered superior to all other AA fire control systems and also adopted by the US. Who knows more about this equipment?
