Their procedure was to toss their hooks and bait over the rail from shelter and slowly to pay the lines out as the slight windage of the Elsinore's hull, spars, and rigging drifted her through the water.
Next to these two important points in the invention comes the question of expansion, whereby the grooves of the rifle are filled up with lead, and windage is as far as possible obviated.
Neither could the condensed air rush into the gun by the windage if there are any permanent gases generated; which Mr. Wilkinson himself says there are, to the extent of "250 times the bulk of the powder in grain.
When the explosion takes place, the plug is driven home into the lead, expanding the outer surface, and thus either filling the grooves of the rifle, or destroying the windage of the musket, as the case may be.
For if the condensed air was allowed to pass the ball by the windage into the tube, it proves beyond doubt that there was a deficiency of matter there, or that the pressure without was greater than that within.

In this case the sight should be lowered 75 yards and 2 points of left windage should be taken.
Sight setting therefore in this exercise should include, more often than not, "fractional ranges" and windage data.

One point of windage moves the striking point of the bullet 4 inches for every 100 yards you are distant from the target.
To show you how to raise or lower your rear sight, change your windage to the right or left, and note the effect on the striking point of the bullet in each case.
The effect of windage changes (given in points) will be found at the bottom of each target, while the effect of elevation changes (given in yards) will be found to the left of each target.
Remember to take windage in the direction you want the bullet to strike.
If right windage is taken the bullet will strike to the right, if left windage is taken it will strike to the left: number of Range.
A change of one point of windage at the 100 yard range will change the point struck by the bullet of the next shot 4 inches.
