The Royal Navy's '''Director Firing Systems''' grew from a complete system which centralised elevation, training and firing of the main batteries of capital ships which was being fitted as the war began. As resources and opportunity permitted this system inspired less comprehensive systems suitable to cruisers, flotilla leaders and eventually event destroyers.

==Common Improvements==
In 1917, it was decided that future directors whose design formerly called for separate main and auxiliary firing pistols should instead have a single pistol with dual contacts and circuitry.  It was not specified whether this change would eliminate, or simplify, or not impact at all the design and function of the firing circuit selection switch at the director.{{ARTS1917|p. 229}}
