A Field Glass That Shows Distances

The latest improvement In optical instru
ments Is a gauge attached 10 a field glass
and a prismatic lens in one of the barrels
to determine the distance of an object. This
is accomplished by producing two images
of the object seen, one superimposed upon
the other. The prism creates the angle
which forms the basis for the mathe1nati-
cal calculation of the distance, and tho
scale contains the solution in advance of
the geometrical problem. On the barrels
of the glass are human figures-one of an
infantryman and the other of a cavalryman
with graduated scale. By observing
the portion of the body against which the
top of the second image is projected and
consulting the scale the distance of the OBJ
ject is easily ascertained. OF course, tho
accuracy of the test depends upon accurate
focusing of the glasses and careful op-
serva Weekly.
