The United States Navy made extensive use of Bausch and Lomb Rangefinders'.
Types Used
The American battleships mounted long base B&L rangefinders in turrets.
Frederic Dreyer noted that the American rangefinders, as used, were much preferable to British, and their ships used:[1]
- 20 foot models in two gun turrets
- 25 foot models in three gun turrets, e.g., Pennsylvania
- 30 foot models in three gun turrets, e.g., Template:UK-NewMexico
- 38 foot models in three gun 16-in turrets
and wanted to inquire whether the British might obtain a 25 foot specimen for testing.
