Stadimeters are optical instruments used to measure distance, typically by employing a known height and trigonometric principles. They were particularly useful in military applications, such as naval gunnery and aerial reconnaissance, for determining the range to targets. The "U.S. Navy-BUS&R®" marking suggests it was a standard issue or approved equipment for the Bureau of Ships and Repair during that era. Schick Incorporated, known for its precision manufacturing, produced this stadimeter in 1942, placing its origin squarely within the World War II period. Instruments from this time, especially those with military provenance, are often sought after by collectors interested in military history and scientific instruments. The wooden case itself, with its clasps, suggests it was designed for protection and transport of a valuable and sensitive piece of equipment.Please see all pictures as they are part of the description.
