1t was about the year 1885 that the
telescope was first tested in conjnnc.

The tremendous concussion broke the
lens. however. so that in order to use il
at all the telescope had to be detached
from the gun before firing. thereby
entaiiing loss OF several seconds in
time after aim had been taken
Later. TO obyiate this defect the
telescope was adjusted to the axis at
the gun by system of parallel arms
moving up and down in unison with
the gun. though detached from it. This
of course was a great Improvement
