Lead WWII era Italian cased stadimeter
Description
Beautiful WWII era Italian cased stadimeter made by Filotechnica in Milano. A stadimeter is an optical device for estimating the range to an object of known height by measuring the angle between the top and bottom of the object as observed at the device. It was designed for gunnery purposes, but its first sea tests, conducted in 1895, showed that it was equally useful for fleet sailing and for navigation. This piece is in wonderful condition in a beautiful fitted finger joint box. Various accessories in their places and a locking harness for the stadimeter. It appears one mirror was replaced at some point and the old one kept in a bag. The closed box measures 12 1/2 x 11 3/4 inches and just over 6 1/2 inches high.
