The paper reviews the principal applications of servo mechanisms to Army weapons during the past war, giving in each case a general description of the particular system employed, and outlining the main historical and design factors governing its adoption. Features of design of special interest are noted. It is not claimed that the number of examples given is exhaustive, but it is representative of the field covered in relation to Army weapons.
