HC Deb 26 February 1900 vol 79 c1089
MR. WEIR () ROSS and Cromarty

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he will ascertain from the general officer commanding the manoeuvres at Gibraltar last April whether any experiments were made with the Brotherhood depression range finder, and will he state the result of those experiments; and is he aware that, as the result of a trial made at Gibraltar by permission of the Governor, there were twenty-four direct hits out of twenty-seven shots at various ranges at a moving object.

*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Yes, Sir. A letter will be sent to the general officer commanding at Gibraltar to inquire into the matter.
