There were two types of fixed heigth periscopes, one of them was the standsehrohr A1 which effectively raised and lowered the seat with the scope. Thus it only could be placed in the control room. IIRC only a few boats from the bigger IX class did ever mount them, as it was dropped in favour of the standing attack periscope in the conning tower.
