Excerpt from Problems in Curved and Indirect Fire
The importance of indirect fire in siege operations has in creased greatly during the last few years by the introduction of rifled guns, and especially of rifled howitzers and mortars; and also by the simultaneous improvement of ballistic formulas and tables whereby the art of gunnery has been reduced to an exact science. It is no longer considered practicable or desirable to construct breaching batteries as formerly on the glacis in order to batter down the scarp by direct fire, but the breach must now be effected by indirect fire from a distance of several hundred yards, as at the siege of Strassburg, during the franco-german war of 1870-71, where the breach of the main rampart was made by indirect fire, the masonry not being visible from the demo lition batteries located in the second parallel.
Curved fire is also considered by our best military writers as equaly important in operations against troops protected by the earthen parapets (breast works) inaugurated in our civil war. These were usualy thrown up in a single night and rendered the defenders comparatively safe against the direct fire of the enemy, whether of muskets or of field guns.
