Enigma 17 Posted January 21, 2013 So would they use a handcrank for the final adjustment on the target? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogtags 10 Posted January 22, 2013 Yes, the mechanism operates both electrically and by hand. I'll try and remember to get some video of the operation inside the turret this week. Stay tuned for more. ~Robert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dogtags 10 Posted January 25, 2013 I have received a few replies asking for a in-turret video of the traverse mechanism. I'm happy to say you can now view a video of in-turret action below.
