1. Artillery Battery Position and Forward Observer Position- The Church is the a distant aiming point- See Red Border Captions for Action Forward Observer Scope and a field phone. The wire between the two points gives a known distance Distant Aiming Point with a surveyed direction Gun Line with an aiming circle and Field Phone emplace Field Phone Wire Base Gun Meteorological Unit, in the general area, Gives Data to the Battery to compensate for variances which can effect the flight of the projectile. These include wind speed, wind direction.

2. The officer with the aiming circle records the direction to the distant aiming point Officer with the aiming circle records distant aiming point. Field phone, The wire between the two points gives a known distance Distant Aiming Point with a surveyed direction Gun Line and Field Phone Field Phone Wire Meteorological Unit, in the general area, Gives Data to the Battery to compensate for variances which can effect the flight of the projectile. These include wind speed, wind direction.

3. This orientation is passed to the howitzers Officer with the aiming circle transfers a known direction to the howitzers Field phone, The wire between the two points gives a known distance Distant Aiming Point with a surveyed direction Base Gun along with the other Howitzers of the Battery are laid to match the direction given by the officer with the aiming circle Gun Line and Field Phone Field Phone Wire Meteorological Unit, in the general area, Gives Data to the Battery to compensate for variances which can effect the flight of the projectile. These include wind speed, wind direction.

4. The Forward Observer Spots a Target Forward Observer sees a target and telephones the gun line with the Gun’s direction & distance to target, which he works from the Plotter. Officer with the aiming circle transfers a known direction to the howitzers Field phone, The wire between the two points gives a known distance Distant Aiming Point with a surveyed direction Target The Range to Target (Given by the FO) is recorded on Base Gun’s Range Drum. The Howitzer’s Barrel is then elevated to match this calculation (plus Sight Elevation and Metrological Data Gun Line and Field Phone Field Phone Wire Range to Target Meteorological Data is added to the aiming points figured with the Plotter (horizontal) and to the Range and Sight Elevation (vertical) to account for variables due to weather conditions.

5. The Base Gun Fires Onto the Target with the Direction Given By the FO and the Quadrant from the Howitzer’s Range Drum Forward Observer sees target and telephones the gun line with a direction & distance to target he works from the plotter. Officer with the aiming circle transfers a known direction to the howitzers Field phone, The wire between the two points gives a known distance Distant Aiming Point with a surveyed direction Target Battery Fires onto the target All At Once. Because of good Meteorological Data, the rounds are accurate without adjustment Gun Line and Field Phone Field Phone Wire Meteorological Data is added to the aiming points figured with the Plotter (horizontal) and to the Range and Sight Elevation (vertical) to account for variables due to weather conditions.
