Deflection is an ambiguous term in many sources covering the World War I period, especially British ones owing to the twisted etymology of the word.

Be careful when contemporary British sources use the word "deflection", as it might mean either speed-across or gun deflection depending on the context.

When a British source says... ...it means
"Deflection" (ambiguous)
"Gun Deflection" Lateral Aim-off
"Sight Deflection" Lateral Aim-off
"Dumaresq Deflection" Speed-across
