Vickers or other indirect fire sight?

[NavyShooter]

Goodday gents,

Looking for some pics or plans of a machine-gun indirect fire sight.

I know the Vickers had one, but I cannot find a good detailed plan view of one.

Does anyone know if one existed for the 1917?

Thanks,

NS

Do you want a picture of a Vickers one?

Pics or other reference sources are welcome!

I have done a google search on them, but haven't really found much to satisfy me. Most pics are not close-ups of the sight, and focus more on the overall view of the gun.
