K-10 Compensating Gunsight

Here is a K-10 Compensating sight with lots of detail about its simple computing element. It is particularly interesting since it makes extensive use of cams, which are an analog version of a ROM. In particular, its has two two-dimensional cams, one of which drives the axial position of the other. In the top right picture one of two cam followers stick up which drive "logic" above this assembly.
