No credits will be given in the following cases:
(1) If the sight is incorrectly set for deflection or range.
(2) If, when the bubble of the cross level is accurately centered, the line of sight is found not to be on any portion of the target.
If the piece is found to be correctly laid within the limits prescribed, credits will be given as follows
| Time in seconds, exactly, or less than | 16 | 18 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 |
| Credits | 2.0 | 1.9 | 1.7 | 1.5 | 1.4 | 1.3 |
Indirect Laying.
12 trials.
Two aiming points will be selected, one toward the front and one toward the rear. They should be of the type used in actual firing and, for the purpose of this examination, should be about 2 mils in width, well defined, of such height as readily to be brought within the field of view, and about 1500 yards distant. They should be clearly pointed out to the candidates.
All of the guns of the battery will be placed in the order in battery and a candidate will be assigned to each.
For all trials the board will assume a situation in the conduct of fire for adjustment by battery, commencing with the first salvo, that will require commands involving a shift of the trail for this first trial, and, for all trials, such deflection and deflection difference settings and changes of settings of scales, not exceeding the limits prescribed in paragraph 5 of this order, as may reasonably be expected in service.
