Rapid Fire. 
Note .—Three minus observations having been got in the 2nd Example at 2025, the range is 
increased to 2050. 
The above ranging is, in so far as concerns verification on the mean 
of the short bracket, based on the Indian instructions. The Field 
Artillery drill-book, however, enjoins verification on the lesser of the 
two elevations of the short bracket. 
This, with a gun like the 12-pr. B.L., will, I believe, be found to be 
a safer and more expeditious principle, as if we are to err, better let it 
be by being under, ratber than over; some examples on this latter 
principle are therefore given.
