Description |
English: Girl Gunners- the work of the Auxiliary Territorial Service at An Experimental Station, Shoeburyness, Essex, England, 1943 21 year old ATS Sergeant Ray Chamberlen (left) and 19 year old Private Muriel Bartels at work on a Mirror Position Finder at the Royal Artillery experimental station at Shoeburyness. The Mirror Position Finder works as follows: the operators look through the viewer watching for shell bursts in the sky. The position of these bursts are marked on the mirror and then transferred to absorbent paper in the Observation Post room. Comparison of the readings taken at several different posts allowed an accurate reading of the actual position of the shell burst. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
