Hello,
On should set the travel and site settings through wheels and the second one should calculate the distance ;)

Hello,

I don't know. Maybe a model from nordic country (?).

For Sturm78, sorry I have no idea for the british AA-predictor !

Hi Sturm and Eax-E

As far as I can make out the British height and range finder is a 18 foot Barr and Stroud UB 10. Unable to find out what its army name is at the moment.

Found these colour photos of the ATS serving with AA batteries.

British army name is "No 10 18-foot A.A. height finder"

I cannot find any thing more about it on the internet.
