  • Type: Straight Custom

  • Scales:
    • Custom. No slide, only the runner moves.
  • HvH: Rule 1: 447

This rule is to assist the artilleryman in calculating the elevation and charge necessary to lob a 155mm shell up to 20000 yards in the general direction of the enemy. Scales for calculating drift and high-angle shots are included. Unfortunately, I have no manual and some of the scales are opaque to me.

The rules are marked: HOW, 155MM. SHELL, H.E., M107, to let you know that one uses these with the 155mm Howitzer gun with High Explosive rounds.
