Just received the above maps which are excellent, but am just wondering what the lines from the battery positions signify. I assume line of fire?

Attached is the key to all the cirlces and squares shown.

The lines usually indicate the battery centre line expressed in grid degrees, from these centre lines the batteries are given arcs of fire.

The lines on the map indicates zero lines now days it would be the Centre of Arc.
