Plotting duva
Hi Rob,
These were often strapped to a tripod leg and used with a Artillery plotting board. More of a trainning room apt than used in the field. Bloody well made but useless... like Lara Bingle. Wayne

No cartographers here?
Rob, it's an open sight alidade. It was used to make topographic maps on a plane table. The idea was you would use the sights to determine the direction of an object, a level to estimate its elevation and stadia measurements to determine its distance. The operator would plot features of interest onto a map. The RCA (your interest I presume) used these in 1st and 2nd Survey RCA.

Not being an Ozzie I had to Google Lara Bingle. I must confess I would have more use for her than for the Alidade....   says the wife.
