Description
The Rbl.F. panoramic telescope is a 4-power, fixed focus type with a field of view of 10 degrees, used of indirect fire. The line of sight may be raised or lowered by rotation of the angle of site knob.
The angle of site scale is graduated from 100 mils to 500 mils (300 mils is normal). The angle of site micrometer is graduated in mils from 0 to 100 mils. The Rbl. F. is consists of an upright section approximately five inches long, supporting an objective head which has a full 360° traverse, and an eye piece approximately four inches long set at an angle to the base.
The eye piece traverses approximately 200°, permitting the operator to use the sight from different positions. A knob graduated in mils and numbered on each ten mils is located near the center of the upright section and traverses the objective head. The lower section of the objective head is graduated in hundred mils, the even hundreds being numbered.
By pressing a small lever near the adjusting knob, free traverse of the head for quick spotting is possible. An adjustment for elevation is controlled by a knob on top of the objective head which is graduated in hundredths and numbered on each tenth mil graduation. An unusual feature in this sight is that the adjusting knobs are click mounted to enable adjustments to be made at night without light.
