Well I myself sent to Dan a document with information and pictures about the historic periscopes, hope he can make some use of it. It is of great imporantce for targetting and determining the solution.

I cant imagine U-Boat-Commander did all the calculations on his own, thats what the torpedo officer is for

The commander when submerged or the IWO when surfaced actually gave the petty officer manning the TDC all inputs, i.e. speed, AOB, range. The navigator also kept a plot in the chart with the information given by the commander or IWO, but ultimately in night surface attacks f.e. it was the IWO alone who gave the target data.
The TDC calculated all the rest.
