The following general rules will govern the Examining Officers:
1. The conditions of examination will be made, as nearly as possible, the same for all of the men.
2. Setting of scales will be considered correct if any part of the index is coincident with any part of the line of the graduation of the setting ordered.
3. Settings ordered will always be even divisions of the scale, and not fraction thereof. When a number greater than five is used, it will be a multiple of five, except in settings of the angle of site and corrector scales.
4. The man may select any of the assistants authorized.
5. The man is permitted to traverse the piece to the middle point of traverse before each trial at direct laying.
6. The sight, quadrant, or fuse setter, etc., will be in the position in which it would be in service before the command for trial with it is given; the scales will be set at readings different from those to be given for the trial.
7. The trials for direct laying will be with different deflections and ranges; for indirect laying with different deflections and deflection differences; for laying for range, with different angles of site and ranges. The trail will be shifted in three trials at direct laying.
8. Changes in setting of scales required of men will not exceed the following: Deflection scale of peep sight, 15 mils; of panoramic sight, 200 mils; deflection difference scale, 30 mils; corrector scale, 10 mils; angle of site scale, 10 mils; range scales, 800 yards. At direct laying the deflections announced will be between 6370 and 30. At direct laying the cross level of the tangent sight will be thrown out of level by the examiner for the trials requiring shifting of the trail.
