[WIP] French Periscope View

[keltos01]

I decided to start a thread on the subject so as not to clog the Surcouf thread with technicallities, this view is intended for the Surcouf submarine.



Hautpoul over at Mille Sabords says :

document d'archive relatif aux sous-marins français provenant de l'Etablissement de Communication et de Production Audiovisuelle de la Défense.

notice the letters ECPA D on the image. It is from a French Defense News Archive.


Periscope's view analysis

view divised in 4 with crosshairs,

one vertical scale to the left at 9 divisions distance from the center one : how many degrees/grads ?

a parallel hair to the horizontal one at 9 graduations : how many degrees/grads ?

a scale close to the center vertical line with many smaller divisions : how many degrees/grads ?

still in the picture I was given there is a line of marks right of the central crosshair, that does not show on the german reticle, so maybe it's a french copy of the german design with their own needs added :

maybe I could start from the german periscope in SH4 then... isn't it ironic : french using german design ?
