Collimnator.jpgCollimnator replaces Aiming Stakes239 views"High Tech" arrives in Vietnam. The brand new tool called a "collimnator" provides a gunner with a superior tool replacing the red & white banded aiming stakes. Only problem was that Ft Sill hadn't counted on the 110% humidity and the sight glasses fogging up. Stakes were still needed. Also, protective boxes had to be constructed.
