I was watching a documentary on Guadalcanal and it had a home movie by a Marine. It showed them setting up fixed position LVT4's in a battery and the guns on them were 75mm and they showed aiming circle set up, laying the pieces and setting aiming stakes along with setting fuses on the shells. it was nice to see and understand what was going on after watching that video.
