The periscope enabled an observer ( e . g . , the tank commander ) to look forward ( upper panel of the picture ) or backward ( lower panel ) without moving his seat . Since it greatly increased the comfort of observer and widened the field of view , the new periscope design was used in virtually every tank built after 1940 . It was first implemented in TKS and 7TP Polish tanks . As a part of Polish - British pre - war military cooperation , the patent was sold to Vickers - Armstrong . It was produced as Vickers Tank Periscope MK . IV ( pictured ) , and built into all British tanks ( such as Crusader , Churchill , Valentine , Cromwell ) .

After the Second World War the technology was adopted thorough the whole world . Exile .

Stripper clip A stripper clip ( also known as a charger or charger clip , especially in British and in Commonwealth military vocabulary ) is a speedloader that holds several cartridges ( usually consisting of 5 or 10 rounds ) together in a single unit for easier loading of a firearm ' s magazine . A stripper clip is used only for loading the magazine and is not necessary for the firearm to function . It is called a ' stripper ' clip because , after the bolt is opened and the stripper clip is placed in position ( generally by placing it in a slot on either the receiver or bolt ) , the user presses on the cartridges from above , sliding them down and off the clip , thereby ' stripping ' them off the stripper clip and into the magazine . After the magazine is loaded , the stripper clip is removed and set aside for reloading . Depending on the firearm , magazine , and cartridge , stripper clips come in a variety of shapes , some quite complex , though most are either straight or crescent - shaped pieces of stamped metal — usually brass , steel ( often blued ) , or plastic . Stripper clips are employed in outdated infantry bolt - action rifles , such as the Russian Mosin – Nagant , the British Lee - Enfield , and the German Gewehr 98 and its variant the Mauser K98k . Stripper clips were also employed in newer , semi - automatic rifles , such as the Soviet SKS and Egypt ian Hakim Rifle .
