Anti Aircraft Telescope
Elevation No.8 Mk.1 (pg 3 Arm)
Here we have a Elevation Telescope No.8 Mk.I This was
used by the ATS the Anti Aircraft Role. This is Dated 1940
so it would have been used to defend the Home Front from
Enemy Aircraft During the Battle of Britain
There were two of these sighting scopes
fitted to the side of a Kerrison Predictor, one for Bearing
and on for Elevation. Two operators would sight and track an
aircraft through the scopes, and the Predictor would
calculate an amount of Lead required based on the rate of
change of the scopes, along with a value for Altitude (from
a Barr and Stroud rangefinder), an estimated speed, and time
of flight of the shell . Angle values for the scopes would
be transmitted to the Gun positions, where the angles would
be read off a scale in front of the "Layer for Elevation"
and the "Layer for Bearing". This way 4 Guns could be
brought to bear on the same target aircraft without the
crews on the guns "Aiming" at the target. They just had to
concentrate on the scale. These were used with 40mm Bofors,
3.7in AA Guns, and were even used to control AA Searchlight
Batteries

The Kerrison Predictor was one of
the first fully automated anti-aircraft fire-control
systems. The predictor could aim a gun at an aircraft based
on simple inputs like the observed speed and the angle to
the target. Such devices had been used on ships for gunnery
control for some time, and versions such as the Vickers
Predictor were available for larger anti-aircraft guns
intended to be used against high-altitude bombers, but the
Kerrison's electromechanical analog computer was the first
to be fast enough to be used in the demanding high-speed
low-altitude role, which involved very short engagement
times and high angular rates.

Bomb Distributor
12 volt 2 (pg3 Arm) Here
we have a Bomb distributor which was
fitted to the bomb aimers position in RAF wartime bombers.
It worked in conjunction
with the MK XIV Bombsite and computer to time the accurate
release of the bombs and keep the aircraft stable during the
release.
This is an extremely rare example being 12 volts,
most bombers used a 24 volt system so this is likely to be
an early example fitted to a Wellington or Whitley.
This is a Type VI and
Carries Air Ministry Reference 5D/663
