  • The artillery miniature range or Nutt range was invented by Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Charles Rothery Nutt DSO as a method of training for the Royal Artillery. Nutt invented his range as a prisoner of war.

It is known that a Nutt Range was installed at Okehampton Artillery Camp, but was removed some time between 1924 and 1933. Okehampton also had a similar Newton range, housed in a building 16 by 60 feet (4.9 m × 18.3 m), demolished in 1939. (en)
