Mechanical Azimuth Indicator

A Mechanical Azimuth Indicator is a type of equipment used in fire control systems. It is classified under the supply class "Miscellaneous Fire Control Equipment" in the supply group "Fire Control Equipment."

The Mechanical Azimuth Indicator is designed to provide accurate and reliable azimuth readings for targeting and aiming purposes. It is typically used in military applications, such as artillery or naval gunnery systems.

The indicator consists of a mechanical device that measures the azimuth angle, which is the horizontal angle between a reference point and a target. It is usually mounted on a stable platform or integrated into a larger fire control system.

The Mechanical Azimuth Indicator may include features such as a rotating dial or scale, a pointer or indicator needle, and a locking mechanism to hold the azimuth reading in place. It may also have additional components for calibration and adjustment purposes.

Overall, the Mechanical Azimuth Indicator plays a crucial role in accurately determining the azimuth angle for effective targeting and firing of weapons in various military applications.
