Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Field Range-Finding: For Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers of Horse and Field Artillery, 1890
When time is abundant, accuracy should be ensured by the employment of long bases, Of deliberate work and of verification by takin more than one Observation to a particular point. This w-iji generally be feasible on the defensive, and in reconnaissance preparatory to attack when the ranges should be taken to all points which may become important during the course of the operations. These ranges should be recorded on a rough but clear sketch, having the points numbered, and the numbers tabulated with their corresponding ranges.
When time is scant, the range-takers should attend closely on the commanding officer in readiness to find the range as soon as he can point out the intended position for action.
