The Kerrison Predictor was one of the first fully automated anti-aircraft fire-control systems. The Predictor solved the problem by doing all of the calculations mechanically through a complex system of gears. Inputs to its calculations included wind speed, ballistics of the gun and the rounds it fired, angle to the target in azimuth and altitude, and a user-input estimated target speed. Some of these inputs were fed in by dials, which turned gearing inside the Predictor to calculate the range (from the change in angle and estimated speed) and direction of motion. 1, record 3, English, - Kerrison%20Predictor

Parmi les véhicules produits, le Sd. kfz 7, tracteur semi-chenillé, fut sûrement le plus réussi. Cet engin de 8 tonnes était principalement utilisé par les unités d’artillerie pour tracter le célèbre canon antiaérien de 88 mm et le canon lourd de campagne de 150 mm. [Il] est construit sur un châssis de camion conventionnel modifié. La suspension avant est constituée de ressorts à lamelles. À l'arrière, des ressorts à lamelles et barres de torsion sont reliés au train de roulement compact typique aux véhicules militaires allemands de l'époque. Le moteur Maybach délivrait 140 chevaux assurant une vitesse de pointe de l'ordre de 50 km/h. 4, record 7, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20semi%2Dchenill%C3%A9
