Hi BigWalleye, that photo you mentioned is not looking through a periscope. It's looking through one of the eye pieces of a TBT (that's the Nautilus conning tower in the background).



I forget which side it was, but the stationary lines within the one lens is what you're looking at.




I don't have a picture of what the Stabilize Azimuth Line would have looked like within the Kollmorgen Periscope. Guess it was just a vertical line, separate of the Telemeter Divisions within the lens.
