New WNDSN Instructor Telemeters

BERLIN, 2024-02-13 -- The first WNDSN Instructor Telemeter in 2020 was a direct scaled-up copy of the standard model. Now, WNDSN has developed a successor with more built-in training information, the new WNDSN Instructor Telemeter comes with added labels on the scales and all elements of the instrument. This Telemeter is twice the size of the standard model and is intended for instructional workshops and in-person training set-ups. The Instructor Telemeter is fully functional, albeit at twice the string length between eye and scale, it requires two-man operation.

The new WNDSN Instructor Telemeter comes in two variants, the (civilian) degree model and the now publicly available (military) NATO-MIL model, with different scales on either of the two sides.

The enlarged Quadrant backside present a unique teaching opportunity to test and demonstrate the accuracy and precision of the larger angular scale compared to the standard size -- and the insight that twice the size does not necessarily equal twice the accuracy nor precision.

Specifications:

  • Dimensions: 6.8" x 4.4" (17 x 11 cm)
  • Thickness: 1/8" (3.2 mm)
  • Material: Acrylic sandwich stock, matte black surfaces, white core with white scales (vice versa for the civilian version), laser engraved
  • Developed and Made in Germany
