Quarter viewThe original markings, one section of which remains, were arranged in 10's from 0 to 180 each side. Four letters would have been marked as well, F, A, P and S for Fore and Aft, Port and Starboard. The NC marking indicates this to be a Navy CRT. The figures were red on the port side and green to starboard.
