This allowed us to adjust the scope when you change the speed and direction of wind.
The technology was developed in strict secrecy, but now the system Norden M is outdated. The last time it was used in 1967, when the squadron VO-67, the US Navy dropped on the Ho Chi Minh Trail (land and water transportation routes of Laos and Cambodia) surveillance equipment.
