With the exception of it sliding on that track, shouldn't you be able to more accurately predict exactly where it's at with triangulation? Isn't that why there are graduated markers on the sight? Based on the elevation of the sightline, now you have the angle. Each angle is going to be a specific distance from the building. Once you have that algorithm, you can have circles on the map. This would give you exact mileage.

So this is a rangefinder for fires? Neat
@humunguswarriorАй бұрын
@@Sapphire_North rangefinder? Well, sort of. Actually what it is is a directional indicator. You line up the smoke with the heading on the fire finder, and you have the exact direction, or azimuth, of the fire from your location. Actual range is dependent upon whether you can see the base of the fire, and if you know how far away it is. For myself, we have a lot of mountains and valleys, and I often can't see the base of the fire. I have to use my best guess for distance sometimes, but at the very least I can provide a heading. If another fire lookout Tower can see it, they can also provide a heading, and then you can triangulate the actual location. Hope this helps.

The creator did not explain the vernier scale to determine the minutes, nor the distance measurements and you need all 3 elements to find the proper position. You don't guess the distance. SMH. Delete this video, do the research and start over. Wikipedia has a better explanation.

why not use a compass and amap if all it is doing is giving you the azamuth and you still have to guess the distance
@humunguswarrior Жыл бұрын
Because a map and Compass wouldn't be nearly as accurate, especially inside of a steel-framed structure. With this, you point it at the direction of the smoke and then have an instantaneous heading that is accurate to within a half of degree. Of course that depends on the fire finder being pointed due north. Once you have it calibrated though, it won't change unless you move the building. The firefinder is literally bolted to the cab. Also, dispatch has a computer so that if more than one Lookout can sight the smoke, then they can enter both azimuths and it will give them a location that is as accurate as the degrees given by the Lookouts. It can literally compute the street and nearest cross street for the ground Crews. However, you are quite right in the fact that this is nothing more than a glorified compass and a map. Just a bit more accurate, especially if the lookout knows the location and terrain well.

@@humunguswarrior What appears to be a vernier scale is the curved engraved brass readout strip above the azimuth ring - it is attached to the outer face of the rotating top section of the firefinder with two brass screws - it is most visible from about 01:36 - 01:47 in the video, and is in clearest focus around 01:45. and has the numbers "10" and "20" engraved on it, with 10 vertical divisions inbetween. At 01:45 the rightmost vertical brass engraved line is aligned with a horizontal azimuth line, and the vertical brass engraved line labelled "10" is about midway between two horizontal azimuth lines, so perhaps this is a vernier scale for reading to 1/20 of a degree in azimuth? Oh - I think I've found the answer. The azimuth ring is divided into 1/2 degree increments (30 minutes of arc), and the brass vernier scale has 30 divisions, each representing 1 minute of arc. The process of reading the vernier on a 1934 Osborne Fire Finder is walked through in detail in the video "How to Use an Alidade", in the section "Finding the Azimuth", here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8-hp7GUndHFpZ8.html Found some more - there's a .pdf manual on how to use the Fire Finder, including the use of the vernier, here: tnlandforms.us/data/osborne.pdf The original manual from which the above was taken can be read online here: tnlandforms.us/data/osborne.pdf
