Laying for Range.

Six trials, using the range quadrant.

The man being seated on the seat on the right side of the trail, an officer of the battery commands, for example:

1. Site, 280.

2. 3400.

At the last word of the command, the man sets off the angle of site; sets the quadrant for range; corrects for difference of level of wheels; turns the elevating crank so as to center the range bubble; calls “Ready” and steps clear.

No credits will be given in the following cases:

1. If the quadrant is incorrectly set for angle of site or range.

2. If no part of the bubble of the cross level is between the middle two lines on the glass tube.

3. If there be found to be an error of more than 50 yards in laying for any range less than 1,500 yards or more than 25 yards for any equal range to or exceeding 1,500 yards.

If the piece is found to be correctly laid within the limits prescribed, credits will be given as follows:
