    Description

    Trigonometer for Use with Artillery.
    The solution of right and oblique triangles is central to firing artillery. This circular disc is marked around the edge with scales labeled D (inverse sine), E (logarithmically divided), B (inverse cosine), and C (tangent and cotangent) This side also is marked: SOLUTION OF RIGHT TRIANGLE. Two clear plastic arms, one long (L) and one short (S), are held by a metal screw at the center. A table in the center of the disc explains how to set arms L and S to solve for different sides of the triangle and/or an acute angle, given different other sides and/or an angle. The instrument is marked on the other side: SOLUTION (/) OF OBLIQUE ANGLES and has a similar table. It is also marked on this side: SOLUTION TO THE TRIAL SHOT DATA PROBLEM. Below this is a grid of lines like those on graph paper for plotting relevant observations.
