REPORT ON THE STANDARDIZATION OF NIGHT LOOKOUT STAGES

Abstract

The Medical Research Department, U.S. Submarine Base, received reports of the results of Night Lookout Training from 40 activities throughout the Navy. These reports included data on more than 500,000 men trained following a standard procedure. Each report was analyzed with respect to the percentage of men sighting the target at each brightness level and at the corresponding voltmeter setting, and median values for all reporting activities were derived. With these data used as a basis, each activity was advised as to the proper voltmeter settings to employ, so that the training at the great majority of reporting activities has been rendered relatively uniform.
