Long range volley sights. The knob on the arm shouldn't really turn, it is supposed to be solid fixed to the arm. The knob is used when aiming volley fire. The knob acts as the front bead for sighting through the rear volley peep hole. Put top of bead onto POA.
Not very exact, but such was volley fire at a distant target. The introduction of the machine gun to the battle field took over the roll of volley fire to create a beaten zone, so the volley sight became redundant, dropped from production half way through the First World War.

Look to your front, mark your target when it comes.
