1953 年美国海军火控计算机机械基础训练片，生动解析了传动轴、齿轮组、凸轮和差速器等纯机械结构的工作原理，展示了如何用这些精密部件实时解算军舰与移动目标的弹道射击诸元。
为什么 HN 推它
HN 网友奉为经典的模拟机械计算演示教程，特别是对差速器如何充当计算单元的演示直观震撼。
「我格外中意关于差速齿轮的那一段，把纯机械构件用作基础计算单元的演示太精妙了。」HN 网友原话：I especially like the section on differential gears, demonstrating their use as computing units
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
A 1953 US Navy training film on the basic mechanisms in fire control computers: shafts, gears, cams and differentials. It shows how these mechanical parts compute ship and target firing solutions.
HN treats it as the classic demonstration of how analog mechanical computation works, especially the differential gear section.
