A center finder is a tool used to align the machining center to a precision location on a work piece. Often these locations might be marked using a layout method (coating the surface with layout stain and scribing a precise location with the intersection of the two lines identifying the position to be machined, etc.
Portable stereoscopic rangefinder from WWII The coincidence rangefinder of the Polish destroyer ORP Wicher Laser rangefinder Second World War German range finding tower at La Corbière Jersey A rangefinder (also rangefinding telemeter , depending on the context) is a device used to measure distances to remote objects.
The approximate range of an object one foot (30.48 cm) in height covering roughly 100 milliradians is 10 feet (3.048 m) or: Range (r) = approximate height of object (h) × (1000 ÷ aperture in milliradians (a)) r = h(1000/a) → where r and h are identical units, and a is in milliradians.
Nanobubbles are nanoscopic and generally too small to be observed using the naked eye or a standard microscope, but can be observed using backscattering of light using tools such as green laser pointers. [12] Stable nanobubbles in bulk about 30-400 nanometers in diameter were first reported in the British scientific journal Nature in 1982. [12]
This is a list of United States Army fire control, and sighting material by supply catalog designation, or Standard Nomenclature List (SNL) group "F".The United States Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalog used an alpha-numeric nomenclature system from about the mid-1920s to about 1958.
A long-range laser rangefinder is capable of measuring distance up to 20 km; mounted on a tripod with an angular mount. The resulting system also provides azimuth and elevation measurements. A laser rangefinder , also known as a laser telemeter , is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object.
Coincidence rangefinders were important elements of fire control systems for long-range naval guns and land-based coastal artillery circa 1890–1960. They were also used in rangefinder cameras . A stereoscopic rangefinder looks similar, but has two eyepieces and uses a different principle, based on binocular vision .
The director was manned by a crew of 6: Director Officer, Assistant Control Officer, Pointer, Trainer, Range Finder Operator and Radar Operator. [36] The Director Officer also had a slew sight used to quickly point the director towards a new target. [37] Up to four Mark 37 Gun Fire Control Systems were installed on battleships.
