OTOT- Gregory: I'm not sure, but, if I remember well, maybe he has one or two pictures of the Ford-Sperry MK 1-A, an electro-mechanical ballistic computer used on the U.S. destroyers during WW II and on the edge of the technology <g> until the late 40's (the only one able to calculate integrals by "volutoids", something like a three dimensional cam).
Dad was embarked on one of these ships,a Fletcher class, used by the Italian Navy in the 50's.
If I will find the pictures, I'll scan and I'll post!
