We had one of those, and a five-inch gun mount connected to it, and mock-up bridge including signal flag hoists, in our Naval ROTC unit at UW Madison.
The building, a former garage, had been converted to train Navy students in WW2. After the war, it became the NROTC unit. None of the targeting computer stuff worked, but the mount had both manual controls and hydraulic; manual controls still worked fine. No ammo for the mount, so we never got to shoot it... -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300, '87 300TD, '73 Balboa 20 Rich Thomas <richthomas79td...@constructivity.net> wrote: >Some of y'all might find this quite interesting > >http://hackaday.com/2013/03/13/retrotechtacular-mechanical-targeting-computers > >--R > >_______________________________________ >http://www.okiebenz.com >For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com >To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > >To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: >http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
