Someone must request information on a Target. He writes the name of the target on a piece of paper, together with the time the viewer is supposed to look at. (Do not RV Nelson's Column before 1845 when it was built.) This is then put in a sealed envelope, and an 8 digit random number is written on the outside.
The controller (the last thing he must do is control) or trainer takes the target, and links into the person requesting. These may be the same person.
The controller sits down with the viewer. When the viewer is ready and in the right state of mind, he is given the random number co-ordinates. The viewer links back to the controller, and writes or tells his impressions.
If the controller believes the viewer is on the right target, he may give limited confirmation and guidance which must be logged. (What is below ground, above the ground, around the target etc.)
What the viewer expects the target to be is irrelevant, and should be written down first to get it out of the way.
All impressions must be written down. Anything not written down does not count.
After viewing, identifying the target is irrelevant as the person requesting already knows. The incongruities seen are the important items. What the viewer believes the target to be should be written down to get it out of the way.
In non military applications, the controller should reveal the identity of the target. In military applications, this is not always done.
