Synopsis "Fire Control Tower"

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A Fire control tower is a military structure used along the American coast during World War II as an observation post to detect enemy vessels offshore and direct the fire from nearby coastal batteries. Some of these were constructed for this purposes while others could be set up inside a barn, lighthouse, or other high coastal structure to disguise it from enemy vessels. Soldiers in a fire control tower used a Depression Rangefinder to determine the range of an enemy vessel and an Azimuth scope to determine the horizontal angle. They would continually send these readings to the Plotting Room in a batteryu2019s bunker where a mathematical formula determined the firing coordinates of the artillery. Each tower was equipped with two powerful telescopes, one of which followed the target while the other spotted splashes of shells fired at the target so corrections could be made. The distances between these towers were recorded. Once a ship was sighted, observers took azimuth readings every 30 seconds and relied on triangulation.
