Talk:Frederic Charles Dreyer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Having just reread Andrew Gordon's "The Rules of the Game", Gordon asserts that Pollen's system was definitely better (refs page 11, also bibliography refers to Prof Sumida's "The Best Laid Plans", which I have not read, but Gordon claims corroborates this). Gordon's work is strong in many areas, and so I am suprised that the final paragraph in the Fire Control section currently says "Subsequent research seems to indicate that Dreyer was unfairly treated and his system was not only largely original but clearly superior to Pollen's.", which clearly contradicts Gordon. Can anyone cite this assertion?
