Excerpt from Laboratory Glassware and Scientific and Surgical Instruments: Hearings Before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Finance, United States Senate, Sixty-Sixth Congress, Second Session
We are told that Carl Zeiss in Germany had pairs of field glasses all ready for the men who manned their submarines and field artillery.
Everyone is familiar with the fact that in modern warfare a piece of artillery is directed by sights and range finders and without these it is as helpless as an automobile without a steering wheel.
