Description

Used by captains to see farther ahead. (magnifys the area). This type of mono-nocular (??) is able to look at things close to far away depending on what the person wants. Their are two screw areas on the top that hold the lens in place. If the front one is unscrewed alittle and the back one is alittle bit unscrewed it allows the user to move the eye peice out farther, but then both need to be screwed tighly so that the eye peice dose not fall off. The user will look through the smaller end through a type of magnify glass which produces a bigger image. To focus twist the larger section where the lens sits. Has scratches on the body which look like they say : Will 4 (??)
