I do not however this book is just plain cool!

[Blaine]

Perhaps, you can enlighten us....I don't have a clue about any of this whatsoever.

From what I can make out it's some kind of German advanced mathematics book published in 1890 or 1896 (kind of hard to tell).

I sprecht ein bisschen aber das ist alles. And I read even less than I speak. 5 semesters of High School well spent, eh?

[Tycer]

It's an old book of memoirs and formulas from a great mathematician. This guy knew ballistics and taught the german army in the mid 1800s. It belongs to a friend of mine and he was able to show me some of the calculations used for arial and land based targeting. Geeky cool stuff for me.

[awp101]

Cool! I think I've still got a book in Swiss around here somewhere and I know I've got a "folder" of pencil sketches that's either in German or Swiss. I'll have to find them and get pics...

[Old Time Hunter]

Ernie sure knew what he was talking about...his calculations were much better than the US ballistics formula.

I.E. Hey, buddy, hold up this 4 x 8 board and walk over yonder and let me see if I can hit it...method.

If ya cain't read it, how do you know it's cool?
