Greetings Gents,
when operating the large range knob/wheel to adjust for range and distance, does turning the knob also cause the upside down "V" reticle or graticule to raise and lower when looking through the sight?
As there are no other moving parts that I can see on the chassis, I assume that when you increase the numerical value on the outside dial, it causes the V to lower, which in turn requires the operator to correct the gun carriage to raise the Maxim to again bring the telescope's graticule back to the target.
Have I got that right?
I'm interested in any other technical information on optics related to fire control.

As you have observed, altering the range dial raises or lowers the graticle and the gun elevation is corrected until the 'point' is on the target. If the ZF12 has been properly zeroed to the gun, and range is correct, then shots should fall on the target.
