Kerrison predictor manual

The Kerrison Predictor was one of the first fully automated anti-aircraft fire-control systems. It was an electromechanical analog computer. The predictor could aim a gun at an aircraft based on simple inputs like the observed speed and the angle to the target. The Kerrison Predictor was a relatively simple device compared to high-altitude predictors, and was designed to meet these particular requirements. It was designed by Major A.V. Kerrison at the Admiralty Research Laboratory, Teddington, in the late s. After the war, Kerrison went on to become Director of Aeronautical and Engineering Research at the British Admiralty. The Kerrison Predictor was a relatively simple device compared to high-altitude predictors and was designed to meet these particular requirements. It was designed by Major A.V. Kerrison at the Admiralty Research Laboratory, Teddington.
