:The guns could be depressed to −3° and elevated to 20°, although the director controlling the turrets was limited to 15° 21' until prisms were installed before the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 to allow full elevation.Campbell 1978, p. 33
The stated basis of this change was "elevating prisms were part of the director, not the rangefinder".
I have reverted this edit because the original information was backed up by a citation, and the change was not.  I do not have a copy of NJM Campbell's Battle Cruisers, Warship Special 1 so I cannot check what it says.--Toddy1 (talk) 05:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I'll second that. I'll have to check Campbell this weekend to see his exact wording, but I'm fairly certain that the manual trumps his book. Just be sure to cite it properly and we'll be OK.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Main armament elevation

message: My comment wasn't as convincing as it could be... the photo on page 86 of Roberts's book augments the phrasing and the plan drawing he provides, clearly showing the ship had RFs in A and B in 1914.  Apparently, QM was the first capital ship to enjoy this level of RF installation upon completion and it was to be retrofitted as possible in coming years in the earlier vessels.
