All of the Army's graphical firing scales were made here by civilian government employees until 2000. The GFT's were wooden slide rulers that gave the artilleryman firing data (gun elevation) for targets based on weapon and round. Despite available computers, the soldier still likes his hand held manual computer. Now a classroom.
