The 1 metre model has a range scale to 20,000yds. There was also a 80cm version to 15,000yds.

In Aust service, they were commonly used by the Machine Gun Battalions and the Anti-Tank Regiments, but could have equally been used by Field Artillery Batteries or Cavalry Units. They had fallen from practical use by the time of the Pacific theatre.
