British Range Finder Demonstrated and Adopted by Navy
A British range finder proved effective in war and the Navy adopted it. Lt Vyvyan conceived the device with Newitt, transmitting range data from the fighting top to all gun positions automatically. Trials showed rapid, accurate range corrections via motorized indicators on each post, with automatic deflection and speed settings. The instrument is in use at Whale Island and aboard war ships, with service-wide rollout planned. A German note on regimental roles and a Cornwall fishermen anecdote follow.
