Excerpt from The Groundwork of Practical Naval Gunnery: A Study of the Principles and Practice of Exterior Ballistics, as Applied to Naval Gunnery and of the Computation and Use of Ballistic and Range Tables
2. Exterior ballistics is taught at the Naval Academy in order that the midshipmen, when they graduate and become officers, may be as familiar with the range tables, with the data contained in them, and with the methods by which this data is obtained and used, - in other words, with the use of the information which is furnished to aid them in using the guns successfully, - as the time available for this instruction will permit. This being the case, everything has been omitted that does not bear directly upon the point assumed to be at issue, and no formulæ have been retained that are not of use in connection with the practice of naval gunnery and the use of the range tables and of the gun afloat, or in the computation of the data contained in the range tables; except that certain preliminary formulæ and discussions have necessarily been retained as vitally requisite for a thorough understanding of the later and more practical parts of the work. An effort has been made to reduce the mathematical investigations to the lowest possible minimum consistent with a clear understanding of the practical portions of the work, in accordance with the views officially expressed by the Navy Department, by the Superintendent of the Naval Academy, and by the Academic Board; but the subject is one that is almost purely mathematical, and which requires considerable preliminary mathematical work (as is the case with the science of navigation) before the practical features can be properly understood. The preliminary discussions of the trajectory have therefore been retained, but have been restricted as much as possible; and, throughout, the work of revision has been carried out with the sole object in view of giving to the midshipmen, in the shortest possible time, a thorough practical knowledge of the underlying principles of naval gunnery and of the computation and use of the range tables.

The Groundwork of Practical Naval Gunnery (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a study of the principles and practice of exterior ballistics, is written for midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. It covers topics such as the trajectory of a projectile in a vacuum, the resistance of the air, and the retardation of the projectile due to this resistance. The book is based on the work of two noted investigators in the field, Professor Philip R. Alger, U. S. Navy, and Colonel James M. Ingalls, U. S. Army. The book begins with a discussion of the trajectory of a projectile in a vacuum, a relatively simple case that provides a valuable foundation for understanding the more complex problems that arise when atmospheric resistance is taken into account. The author then introduces the concept of the ballistic coefficient, a measure of the resistance of a projectile to the passage of air. The latter part of the book delves into the practical methods used to compute the data contained in range tables, essential tools for gunners in accurately targeting their weapons. The book concludes with a discussion of the accuracy and probability of gunfire, a crucial consideration in naval warfare. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the science of exterior ballistics, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
