Those people back then must have had a pretty fair handle on some things. If I recall correctly, what I believe to have been a fairly basic slide rule, aka The Manheim (not sure of the spelling) Slide Rule was designed by an Austrian Artillery Officer, to facilitate gunnery calculations. I guess that they would still serve for such purposes.
