Russian binocular range reticle

[Oddbawl]

I just snagged a pair of Russian surplus 8x30 binoculars with a range reticle in them. (still waiting for them to show up) Anybody know off hand how many mils between each graduation?
This is what it supposedly looks like:

This kind of reticle is used by russian artillery. There should be 1/1000 of distance between long lines (as far as I remember).

There are 10 mils between each hash mark. Short hashes are 5 mils high long hashes are 10 mils high. if I remember correctly the width of a hash mark is 1 mil. these range in meters not yards.

Well, if anybody cares, I just got them and checked out the reticle. The scale was a little different from the pic- the cross hairs are half the length of the long hashes. Given 1 mil = 3.6" @ 100yds, 18" fits right between tha hash marks. 18/3.6= 5mils, small hash marks= 2.5 mils, 1 quadrant on a cross (half the 2.5mil length) = 1.25 mils. So there you have it. If you get a pair of 8x30 Russian Binocs with the number N backwards "N" h220236 on them, that's the scale. Quite a decent quality, stout piece of glass.
