Greetings. Does anyone have any information about Russian rangefinders from the early 20th century? The most common of these meters are the Russian vertical rangefinder M 1910 and the Launitz horizontal rangefinder M 1905. They are moniumutkaisa precision measuring devices, which were manufactured in Russia in the thousands, because each coastal battery had to have its own meters, often both of these.
Were they manufactured in St. Petersburg? The factories were probably the Obuhov, Sietarjoki or Nikolai optomechanical workshops, the St. Petersburg fuse factory, Geisler, Ericsson RU or later LOMO. Ino later had the Perepelkin fire control system in Ino supplied by Ericsson. And there was Perepelkin's datsa there too! These measuring devices remained in Finland and were used until the 1940s. I have not seen these in any museum in Russia or elsewhere. The Obuhov museum does have a micrometer Lyuzholja-Myakisheva.

Unfortunately, this isn't my topic. I hope someone more knowledgeable will answer.
Just note that the number of coastal batteries in Russia is in the hundreds, not thousands. )))
In Kronstadt, batteries armed with cannons usually had vertical and horizontal rangefinders. Mortar batteries only had horizontal rangefinders.

Thank you and Bravo for your answers. Ino, your book is a really great whole. I have been writing same kind for over 10 years, but working in the archives "there" would have been challenging. Otherwise, our sources are the same. The body of my book is ready, but it contains more artillery technology, the history of RT 2 in Ino, and the war years in Ino. There is one funny anecdote related to your book and to the photo in your book.
The Finnish Artillery School was established in Lappeenranta (my hometown) in July 1918. Lappeenranta was a good place because here was a large garrison and a large camp field ready, where the Russian army also trained. There was even a camp church. Today, this area is Lappeenranta Airport, in the middle of the City. At first, Swedish officers served as trainers, but from the beginning of the summer ithe school was led by German officers, commanded by Major Butz of the Baltic Division. The Germans finally left Lappeenranta in November and the artillery school continued here until 1921.
The picture in your book was taken about 500 meters from my house at what is now Lappeenranta Airport. There, a German non-commissioned officer is shooting students of the artillery school. Not in Ino, although the Finns besieging the fort also had even two field guns. Best regards and have a good autumn, MMu

No problem, it's not your fault. The original text in Finna is wrong. There are many wrong texts like this, but that's a small thing. I happen to know this picture very well. Partly because I have written a lot of articles related to the history of the city of Lappeenranta. One of my articles dealt with the history of Leirikenttä and its Russian camp (military) church.
Greetings, MMu
