Does anyone use one of these?

Do you have to view from above, or does it also have a vertical card so if it's mounted on a slant you could see it from behind?

I used two of these. They were on a 470 close to the shrouds ( in 1980!). I never liked them- the large numbers 1-5 in every quadrant stand out well but we could never work out how to use them and so used the regular compass numbers that are much smaller. I used to read it from out on the wire.
