Distance measurement

How to work the scaled graticule
for rangefinding
To measure distance by a simple formula
when height or hength is known:
Distance (in km) =
Height of target object (m)
Angular Elevation
Distance (in km) =
Length of target object (m)
2)
Azimuth of target object
In practice, sizes (Height / Length) of observed
objects are known with reasonable accuracy
1)
of target object
since they are often people, buildings and
vehicles
