Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new system for expressing the height of hills and the nature of their slopes in military plans. The system, developed by the author and based on the work of Major Lehman, includes a series of normal lines that represent different angles of elevation. By measuring the length of these lines and referring to a scale, the user can determine the height of a hill and the angle of its slope. This system provides a more accurate and detailed representation of terrain than traditional methods, making it an invaluable tool for military planning and operations. The author explains the theory behind the normal system and provides detailed instructions on how to use it in practice. The book also includes a series of plates that illustrate the use of the system in different situations. This system revolutionizes military planning and operations by providing a more accurate and detailed representation of terrain, making it an invaluable tool for military planning and operations.
