"Arthur Pollen (1866-1937) trained as a barrister but eventually became a successful businessman. In 1900 he became interested in the problem of aiming naval artillery after witnessing a practice firing at sea. From that time he formulated his ideas for a system of firing accurately at long range and in 1906 he persuaded the Admiralty to co-operate in the development of his proposals. However, Pollen's ideas were not adopted as an influential group of naval officers supported another system, the Dreyer method of fire control, although some of Pollen's ideas were used. In 1913 Pollen finally abandoned his attempts to get the Admiralty's support. Promising negotiations with foreign navies were disrupted by the outbreak of the First World War. The volume consists of correspondence between Pollen and various naval officers as well as technical papers before 1916. The poor performance of British gunnery, particularly at the Battle of Jutland, led the Admiralty to order a redesign of fire control equipment in 1916. After the war Pollen was awarded £30,000 in compensation for ideas which were used without his knowledge or permission. From 1927 Pollen's ideas lay behind standard fire control equipment issued to British ships." - NRS website. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Publlished by George Allen & Unwin for the Navy Records Society, Aldershot, 1984, being volume 124 of the Society publications in this series; 8vo, 155 x 230mm; standard blue cloth titled gilt on the spine and with the roundel of the Society in gilt on the front cover; no dust wrapper called for; pp xv, 400 plus list of the publication of this series to date; frontispiece photograph of Pollent; several more technical appendixes on relevant matters such as Range Finding by Triangulation, Triangulation by Coincidence, Disc-ball-Roller Mechanism, and more; extremely slight fading of the spine but otherwise in near fine condition. . . . . . Pollen's particular contribution was the invention and development of an analogue computer, the Argo Clock. At that time the accuracy of large naval guns was extremely poor and Lord Kelvin proposed the development of such an analogue device to calculate and solve the various equations relevant to the required trajectory of fire, including matter such as the relative motion of the ships engaged and of the time to hit. Pollen also disagreed frequently with the official British approach to and publication of material about World War I. In particular he disagreed with Admiral Jellicoe, then Commander of the British Grand Fleet, Pollen taking the view that any successes in the Battle of Jutland were actually down to the approach of Admiral Beatty. Pollen worked for much of his life with the Linotype Company, duly becoming MD although at that point he had also become a Director of BSA [the Birmingham Small Arms Company].
