  An older elector mechanical device did this for a
different problem.  

 Given variables: speed over surface, 
                         altitude, 
                         gravity, 
                         an objects drag

 Problem:          At what time do you release an object to hit a 
                        predetermined spot.

 Hint: it was top secret in the early 1940s. 
I would expect this is the Norden Bomb Sight (as made famous to my generation
on "Hogan's Heroes" :-)
