A simple instrument for determining the altitude of heavenly bodies It is a quarter of a circle with a plumbosuspended from its apex Held vertically and aligned with the sun or a star, the plumline (string with a weight on it) falls across the scale of degree markings from 0-90 degrees on the curved edge, indicating the angle of elevation
The corrected elevation, that is the elevation plus angle of site (angel of site accounted for the differences in elevation between the battery and target) This setting was communicated to and set off by the gunner on the Panoramic Telescope Mount to move the howitzer cannon up or down
