Using the Telephone on the Rifle Range 



On the rifle range of the Georgia Slate Militia, 

 at Augusta, scoring is done by a telephone 

 system. A telephone in the firing pit is operated 

 from a central station box on the firing line; so is 

 an iron buzzer-box in front of each target. When 

 the buzzer sounds, the target is pulled down, 

 the shot located and another target set up 



At left, the telephone box on the firing line. The 

 operator keeps in constant communication with 

 the men in the firing pit bj' means of the tele- 

 phone and the buzzers located one at each target 



Below, a busy firing line. As one target is pulled 

 down and the shot noted the target in the other 

 sash goes up automatically, so that a target is 

 always in place above the pit. The buzzer-cords 

 to the pit are led through the pipe-line shown
