Eye Tests
Thanks again for the feedback.
Perhaps the answer to my question can be found in the log book (I am sure I remember seeing a listing somewhere, so maybe that is where I saw it).
If anyone has theirs to hand ......... !
UPDATE: I have looked at a couple of log books and they are both stamped "Night Vision Test" with results /32 shown; one has 9/32, the other 29/32, so Ormeside28 is the best so far!. Unfortunately, they don't show what other eye tests were carried out so I am back to the drawing board on that aspect of my research.
I have established that the night vision test consisted of two tests, one for light sensitivity and one for form perception (which is the one where letters and familiar forms such as stylised ships and aircraft silhouettes were displayed at various luminance levels). The article concludes "the score was simply the number of correct recognitions out of a possible 32".
The article also mentions the rotating hexagonal box which enabled 6 recruits to be tested at the same time (as noted by our veterans)
Regards
Pete
