At an experimental gunnery camp in Manorbier, Wales, members of the Auxiliary Territorial
At an experimental gunnery camp in Manorbier, Wales, members of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) are doing very secret work operating Kine- Theodolite instruments which record the burst of Anti-Aircraft shells onto a photographic film.
From the photographs, calculations are made as to the effect and accuracy of the firing.
Picture shows: ATS girls being taught how to use their instruments. Subaltern Joan Gotter wears the red hat band that signifies a gunnery instructor, she is the only woman in the ATS entitled to it.
She comes from Ireland where her father isa lecturer in mechanics.
