ing the projeetile from straight course,
may be news to many and as such would

paper read before the Royal Artillery
institution. Firing from north to south
there is divergence of projectiles to the
left, due to the earth's rotation. and fir
ing due north the divergence is to the
right. The extent of the pull varies
at different points of the earth's surface
