		Plot spotting should enable much fuller use to be made of a good rangefinder plot during an action and, as has been suggested by one ship, should permit the range to be re-tuned during the firing of a deflection group without upsetting the control.
		Although the results of the rangefinder trials at Fort Cumberland since the war were conclusively regarded as being in favour of the coincidence rangefinder to the exclusion of the stereoscopic, a scrutiny of the reports shows that under certain conditions of poor visibility the latter may have the advantage.
		It is also known that some progressive foreign navies still favour the stereoscopic rangefinder, and it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that developments in the construction of these foreign rangefinders have advanced quicker than our own, resulting in an instrument which is superior to those used in the trials.
