That was some fine sleuthing locating the instructions for this stadimeter in an auction listing. I followed up on that, grabbed a couple of images, and pieced together what I think is a readable copy of those original instructions.
Having studied the images and carefully reviewed the instructions, I am left with only one question: how does this thing work?? It seems a bit intricate for a simple range-finder!
