Table, they worked through the night on complex calculations to prove that eight guns firing at least 1,000 rounds a minute was essential for success. they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late after everybody‘s gone to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments more or less off their own bat, working very long hours because they were really dedicated to these things. and of course, people taking their work home. they...

Person for help — his 13—year—old daughter, hazel, a talented mathematician. together, around their kitchen table, they worked through the night on complex calculations to prove that eight guns firing at least 1000 rounds a minute was essential for success. they talked about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late after everybody‘s gone, to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat, working v...

Rifle calibre machine—gun bullets. the same thing soldiers fired out of their rifles. however, it was discovered that if you grouped together eight of these machine—guns, drownings firing a thousand rounds a minute, you would produce a density of fire of 256 rounds in the two seconds that it was assumed that a pilot would have in order to bring down the bomber. —— brownings firing. two seconds was all he had, given the speed with which aircraft were moving now, and the difficulty of keep...

To carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less of their own bat, working very long hours because they were really dedicated to these things. and of course, people taking their work home. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing up. amazing that history hangs on so fine a thread. you know, if she got the calculations wrong or if she hadnt been asked to help, and the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who k...

But this man, captain fred hill, a scientific officer in the air ministry, became convinced that four guns would not be enough. each plane needed eight. he faced stiff opposition — most thought eight guns would be too many, impossible to fit on the planes. but captain hill was convinced he was right, so he turned to an unlikely person for help — his 13—year—old daughter, hazel, a talented mathematician. together, around their kitchen table, they worked through the night on complex calcul...

Until now, was the role that a 13—year—old girl played in this design. this new generation of fighter plane had originally been designed with just four machine guns. but this man, captain fred hill, a scientific officer in the air ministry, became convinced that four guns would not be enough. each plane needed eight. he faced stiff opposition. most thought eight guns would be too many, impossible to fit on the planes, but captain hill was convinced he was right, so he turned to an unlikely p...
