Abstract

1949. Burns, W. A. Aug. 7, 1914. Sights.-Relates to fore-sights for use against moving targets, and consists (1) in mounting the fore-sight on a crank with radial adjustment, so that the throw of the crank may be set to the speed and the position of the crank to the direction of motion of the target, and (2) in giving the fore-sight a certain width to indicate the spread ' of fire needed for speeds varying within certain limits. In the construction illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, the fore-sight F is shaped as shown and is adjustable on a crank D<1> integral with a turn-table D adjustable by a bevel gear B. When the sight is set along the crank for a given mean speed, and the table is set for the direction of motion of target by means of a scale DS similar to a clock scale, the centre of the fore-sight gives the correct mean lateral line of sight, and the apparent width of the fore-sight indicates the lateral ' spread ' about the centre required to allow for variations of speeds about the mean.
