Summary

Description
English: Freely interpreted illustration of: British GL Mk. II aka. AA No 1 Mk 2, radar receiver.

The GL Mk. II was an early radar system used to provide aiming and range information to anti-aircraft guns. It consisted of two parts, a receiver shown here, and a transmitter, separately illustrated. These were mounted on gun carriages that allowed them to rotate to point at their targets. Both were powered by a separate wheeled generator unit, not shown.

The GL Mk. II was introduced in 1940, based on the earlier Mk. I of the previous year. The Mk. II made the angle measurements accurate enough to feed directly into the gun calculators, and from there, directly aim the guns and set the timers on their fuses.
Svenska: Fritt tolkad illustration av: Brittisk GL Mk. II aka. AA No 1 Mk 2, radarmottagare.

GL Mk. II var ett tidigt radarsystem som användes för att ge information om sikte och avstånd till luftvärnskanoner. Den bestod av två delar, en mottagare som visas här och en sändare, separat illustrerad. Dessa var monterade på vapenvagnar som tillät dem att rotera för att peka på sina mål. Båda drevs av en separat generatorenhet på hjul, ej visad.

GL Mk. II introducerades 1940, baserat på den tidigare Mk. I föregående år. Mk. II gjorde vinkelmätningarna tillräckligt exakta för att matas direkt in i luftvärnskanonernas kalkylatorer, och därifrån riktade du luftvärnskanonerna och ställde in timers på deras säkringar.
