Title: An Improved Method and Apparatus for Ascertaining or Calculating the Direction of a Line between Two Points Invisible to each other.
Inventor: VENTURINO MAXIMO EDUARDO
IPC: G01C3/02
Filed: 1915-02-18
Granted: 1915-08-26
Abstract: 2623. Venturino, M. E. Feb. 18. Multiplying - apparatus; plane-trigonometry calculators. -- For calculating the angle subtended by the base of a triangle, when another side and the included angle are given, a table is prepared for the angle subtended by a unit base for variations in the given quantities, and this table is reproduced in a calculating-machine, which gives approximately the subtended angle required by multiplying the unit-base angle by the length of the base. The invention is particularly applicable to gun-laying, and the angles are given in milliÞmes (6400 equal to 90 degrees). The gun is stationed at the point B, Fig. 1, aud the target A is invisible from B, but is visible from a point C, and a point D, referred to as the auxiliary target, is visible from both B and C. The angle # is required to be calculated, and this is effected by calculating the angles alpha and # and measuring # and #, and then adding or subtracting according to the relative positions of the points A, B, C, D. The calculating - machine is of the cam-disk and pin-wheel type of repeated-addition multiplying-machine, and the angles # or # are set up on the top, Fig. 3, the distances y or z being set out on the side; the operation of the levers 10 projects pins 13, Fig. 5, on the wheels 8, and on operating the handle 4 n times, if the length of the base is n units, an angle approximately equal to a or # is oommunicated to the register 23 through a spurgear train and is thus added to or subtracted from the original setting, according to the direction in which the handle is turned. The original angle is set on the register by the levers shown on the right-hand side. An indicator 51 for the required direction of movement of the handle is formed by a sleeve 45 which is set according to the relative positions of the points A, B, C, D. A register 56 for the number of operations of the main handle is provided, and a wheel 52, moved one step at each revolution of the main handle, carries a stop 54, which is set to prevent further rotation in either direction when the required number of revolutions has been made. For calculating differences in the angle # for small distances apart of the guns of a battery, taken as the unit for which the machine is constructed, a table of numbers is provided in the front of the machine, with indications as to whether the angle is to be opened or closed. These numbers represent values of # in hundreds of milliÞmes, and the lever 10 above the given number is moved to its distance; on one revolution of the handle, the required change in # is obtained. Zeroizing-mechanism.-The spindle 22, Fig. 5, of the register carries pins 38, which, on axial and then rotary movement of the spindle, engage projections 39 upon the counter wheels. Detent mechanism.-Spring detents 32, Fig. 5, are provided for the counter wheels.
