*Royal Observer Corps. Rare Post or Micklethwait Instrument, with accessories, together with tripod stand and original wooden box dated 1935 These were the standard optical sighting system used by the Royal Observer Corps to determine the location of aircraft. Used in service from the 1930s to 1950s, this example is dated 1935 and would have almost certainly been used during The Battle of Britain in 1940. The operator was required to estimate the altitude of the aircraft and enter that into the device, then point a mechanical indicator, or sight, at the aircraft. The motion of the sight moved an indicator on a small Ordnance Survey National Grid map. The grid indicated by the pointer was then telephoned to central control rooms, where several such reports were combines to produce a more accurate location estimate. Later models added the Micklethwait Height Corrector, which allows the posts to measure altitude with some accuracy and this improve the quality of the measurements. (1)
