Notes on Rangefinders, Compasses and on Contouring with the Scale of Horizontal Equivalents

Abstract

Range Finders are of two general classes; those used in connection with permanent fortifications, which are combined ranged and position finders, and those used for estimating ranges on the battle-field for light artillery and small arms fire. Those of the latter class are usually call telemeters, and they are the ones with which we are principally concerned, considering them both as battle-field range finders and as surveying instruments.
