This is the computerized modern version during WW2. At the beginning of WW2 they did not have this system functioning on battleships. Or just testing it. They had to calculate direction of there ship and speed direction of the target ship and speed distance to target wind speed and direction rotation of the shell it is firing rotation of the earth elevation angle they also counted the number of times the specific barrels liner had been used before they apparently could refine the barrel at sea. That needs some searching for that answer And those computations together. Now to tell when to fire the gun, as in the roll of the ship in the water? I believe there is the drop the ball thing happened. To tell when to pull the trigger. The ball apparently had to hit the floor at a specific spot to pull the trigger? If you look at the photo of the USS Alabama, there is a small airplane on the back of the ship. They launched it off a rail, then on return it landed in the water, and used a crane to pick it out of the water. They had to fire during the day. Then radar was introduced to the war ship. That adde the ability to see and fire at night. -
We do it when we stop for more than a couple nights,and know the county you are in for weather warnings. Usually I find them just by looking at google maps to see what’s around us. When boondocking with no phone signal we try to find where the nearest one is before we get there. And try to be real careful we don’t get hurt that we need to go. Having to go for a health reason is anyone’s guess as when that will happen. Wife says no climbing ladders when boondocking. -

Same as most pre 2000 Ford Dome lamps in light trucks and same as the Third Stop Lamp in my old 1999 F250. Current Automotive number is a 912 or brighter intensity 922.
