Line 106:
The curves show the solutions of Equation {{EquationNote|2}} for deflection angle as a function of target speed and track angle. Figure 4 confirms that 110° is the optimum track angle for a {{convert|16|kn|km/h|0|sing=on}} target, which would be a common ship speed.<ref name = TargetSpeed>

There is fairly complete documentation available for a Japanese torpedo fire control computer that goes through the [http://home.comcast.net/~mbiegert/Work/HistOfTech/TDC/Model.htm details of correcting for the ballistic and parallax factors]. While the TDC may not have used exactly the same approach, it was likely very similar.
