Kramer is correct to a degree. In theory, he's absolutely correct. In practice, without some more advanced computer control, and just hand-eye coordination using a simple on-off joystick controller course corrections will be rough and abrupt.What Kramer, given the Dusseldorf Detmold system, is saying is the person controlling the missile can flick the lever in one direction or another for a varying amount of time--that is they could tap it over for less than a second, or hold it over for much longer--varying the 'up' time of the spoiler and its effect on course.I can't see anyway what Kramer describes for Dusseldorf Detmold to work that way on the circuitry provided alone. It is entirely possible he was being overly optimistic of his system of spoilers given that it wasn't copied anywhere post war for use other than in a few low speed ATGM's that proved less than successful. For example, this system was copied, more or less, in the French SS 10 ATGM but abandoned and replaced with a thrust vectoring system in SS 11.
