It's a usage example from Webster 1913. It refers to the device used to measure the distance to a remote object, so I think it's in the right place. Equinox ◑ 22:54, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Oh, you're right, I made a mistake. Let me look at it again. Equinox ◑ 22:54, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

It does imply a different etymology though. SpinningSpark 07:13, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
