Dirt Doc: Long baselength turret rangefinders in the RN were roughly contemperaneous with the developments in centralised fire control (1905-1915).

Rangefinders were put in turrets to measure range to the target.

Turret rangefinders are generally of longer base length and are slightly more accurate than their shorter cousins. But they are not very much more accurate and its not too important to have as accurate a range as you may think.

In the turret the operator is also in the turret so he is not subjected to the noise and muzzle blast as... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Gene Slover) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/sreply/83018 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 01:27:10 GMT http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/reply/82997/t/Turret-rangefinders.html#reply-82997

2. They were armoured back ups in case the DCT ones were knocked out.
3. They were another set of readings to be averaged with the DCTs.
Although of generally larger base length once firing commenced they would have vision problems. Does the answer vary between navies?
