REL was busy making naval gun sights, binoculars, artillery sights, aircraft sights, and then was tasked with the No. 32 scope. I've read that the
British
production of scopes was maxed out, and could not provide support for the
Canadian
program for this reason. Thus, the Canadian sniper program was limited by what REL could provide, not the armorers making the conversions at Long Branch. (from Cleve Law, and Martin Pegler, authors).
Are you saying that H & H provided scopes for the Long Branch program, or technical support to REL?
Thanks for your reply.
