Math is totally off.
A-Z is 26.
26 x 1000 = 26000
Divided by 11 years (1910-1925 minus 4 war years) = 2,365 guns a year more or less.
V-Z is 5 years x 2365 - 11,700 + 625 = about 12,300 guns.
12,300 divided by 2365 = almost exactly 5.5 years.
So make it late 1919, early 1920. And Ted was pretty much spot on as usual. And the erroneous math turned out to be not so erroneous. (I'm reviewing my 1950's algebra texts as we speak).
Let's see:
26 x 1000 = x
x ÷ (15 - 4) = y
5y + (1000-325) = z
z ÷ y = q
1925 - q = s
Corrections appreciated.
