    These have been gathered up over the past 8-10 years, finding photos of them almost as difficult.
    A very clear wide-angle binocular, can ( today be handheld but if on a tripod very good to use.
    Photos are from the battleships, Howe and Prince of Wales. "Pom-Pom" director Mk II and III.
    The set is easy to adjust provides an excellent image and has a set of filter in the faceplate.
    Simple but very good binocular. bridge_equipment_23.jpg bridge_equipment_24.jpg bridge_equipment_25.jpg large_000000Howe ross.jpg large_000000pow2.jpg IMG_4151.JPG IMG_4162.JPG 006.JPG 009.JPG 007.JPG
