| But again you are twisting the question and assuming the van is pointing in the opposite direction to the link that I supplied which is the direction the van aims his camera, i.e. in the direction of the junction where the not unnoticeable artic is pulling out...can you see it? not twisting anythin... |

| To check the alignment the operator must select a suitable target. This target should have a straight vertical and horizontal edge, with nothing in the immediate background, preferably just sky. The operator, after selecting the tt mode, moves the LTI slowly from off the left or right side of the v... |

| mmmmm, I do wonder at the intelligence of camera partnership members (or ex ones) when you consider GS's Maths (In)ability and Cam Ops lack of joined up thinking. Perhaps he can enlighten us, as to what he might consider a suitable target for alignment, that he might use? I know what I would use bu... |

| and just for the record the red dot is never aligned to the crosshairs, the cross hairs are aligned to the red dot, I think that it is pretty obvious to say, that once the red dot and cross hairs are aligned, that they can be said to be aligned WITH each other, regardless of which has to be moved T... |

But here is a challenge to Camera Operator describe in detail how the alignment checks, yes in the plural, are carried out, what you should see, what you should hear and any range reqquirements. These checks are the scope ali... |

| Yes probably many more times than you have, especially as operators, including ex ones, are not allowed to adjust the scope alignment. meoww, as an ex operator there was never a reason to realign, purely and simply because they do not go out of alignment, althought the manual clearly states the pro... |

| Interesting to hear from the HA that they don't gather this kind of information. Do Camera vans generally have two operators..? I can't honestly see the guy having enough time to jump out of his seat in the back of the van and get the numbers... and yes, TBH one of the plates might not quite have m... |
