Default No.71 Sighting Telescope

Does anyone have any paperwork on how the No.71 Mk.1 Sighting Telescope is used on a Centurion tank or Centurion tank equipment, please? The markings on the scope are:

No.71 Mk.1
OS3781A
AVL
1954

And it is described as a 'Verifier, Aim, FV131900' for Medium Tank Centurion.

Been through all my Centurion paperwork and come up with ... nothing.

Would appreciate some help please.

Mike

I was looking for information on similar scopes fitted to tanks. I have a No33 but cant find much, you would think there would be a manual or phamplet for such a delicate instrument.

I would like to find a list of the various marks and their use. I expect they are all much the same and the mark refers to the reticule 'crosshairs' needed for a particular vehicle and its gun arrangement.

This seems to be the only information going, there must be more.
