The Range Typewriter was a flexible, manual means of plotting range cuts on the range plot of a Dreyer Fire Control Table, representing the data from as many as 9 rangefinders with distinct markings.
It supplanted the Brownrigg Keyboard which was used for this purpose through the Battle of Jutland.
