Mods for measuring horizontal angle.

Ok -sounds like your using the published heights in the manual as known and the stadimeter scale and working backwards from there. Thanks.

Pretty much any mod that has GUI in its name or description should fit your needs. So I suggest you make a search for that term. They took good care to show a calibrated vertical and horizontal scale (on the glass) in the periscope. And I don't mean the bearing ribbon at the top. They (often) provide a circular sliderule around it named the Range and AOB Finder (RAOBF) to do the measurements you mentioned. Way back I figured out some trick to make the speed calculation and zoom-corrections on it dead-simple and it is incorporated as a scratchmark on the scales in pretty much every one of them.
