Even ships had them...the next time you look at a battleship or WWII era ship, the range finders would be located on sides of main guns.

O' the guy with the long tube and he's through the middle of it...that's one of several types of range finders. They were not based on electronics but rather on the two image overlay principal whereby two lenses side by side but separated by 1 or 2 feet, like binoculars, could be focused until their images overlapped. When they did the spotter was able to read the distance. I'll add some pics later to show... Bazooka?
