Sentences with RIMBASE (5)
The rifled cannon in service have the breech-sight on the side of the breech and the front sight on the rimbase, which permits the gun to be accurately aimed and the object kept in view at all elevations.
SIGHTS.--These consist of a fixed sight upon the right rimbase, and a brass movable sight placed in a socket which is screwed into the rear of the reinforce at the breech of the gun.
Furthermore, with the sight on the right rimbase, it is not convenient for the 2d Captain to attend the screw without interfering with the aim.
The gun having been levelled, and the trunnions placed horizontal, a centre line is to be drawn on the top of the left (or right) rimbase.
The support for the sight is then to be fitted to the breech, at the distance from this line marked on the pattern-sight for its calibre, with the bottom of the sight-notch in the bar, exactly the height of the front sight (one inch) above the upper surface of the rimbase; the sight-bar perpendicular.
