When using the M2 Aiming Circle, in which direction should it always be turned?

When using the M2 Aiming Circle, it is essential to always turn it in a clockwise direction. This is due to the design of the device, which is constructed to align and set the azimuth correctly based on the principles of surveying and artillery positioning. Turning the aiming circle clockwise ensures consistency and accuracy in measurements, which is crucial when determining firing solutions and adjusting artillery systems.

Furthermore, consistent clockwise rotation aids operators in maintaining the correct reference point during calculations, preventing potential errors in orientation and alignment. By adhering to this standard procedure, operators can ensure more reliable and effective results when employing the aiming circle in field operations.
