Meteor mark 4B Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 From my Old Comrades web forum: Clino was set in daylight for night shoot and also when obscuration was expected after first round was fired ie in dusty conditions like a desert.You could add 200 for example on range drum,level bubble,fire,drop 400 on range drum and fire again.Traverse indicator had to be zeroed throughout this procedure as well. (Anyone bored?).This does not look like the ones we had fitted on Centurion, no knurled knob in view here. Saladin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 From my Old Comrades web forum: Saladin? Not Saladin. The Clinometer - the bracket that holds the bubble is the same as on Saladin. The rest of the bracket - the range gear, not Saladin. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Definately Chietain, known as Quadrant, fire control, AFV, No. 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
