ii. The director is clamped at zero and laid in the line of the aiming

posts with the foresight towards the target. The battery commander or battery leader then faces the battery and laying back over the director (namely, foresight--backsight) aligns it on the dial sight of each gun in turn. The angles are noted down and communicated to the battery, or by word of mouth to each individual gun. Thus:--

(Director (Director in front behind battery.) of battery.)

“LINES OF FIRE”

“No. 1 152 Right” } { 28 Right “No. 2 164 Right” } { 16 ” “No. 3 176 Right” } or { 4 ” “No. 4 172 Left” } { 8 Left “No. 5 160 Left” } { 20 ” “No. 6 148 Left” } { 32 ”

The dial sight of each gun is set at the angle ordered, and laid on the director.

When using this method the director must be at least 80 yards in front or rear of the line of guns.
