We may also lock the Vertical

We now need to
adjust the

to accomplish
reading

1) Do we have 3) Now to get V
coincidence ? You be reading we need to
the judge! readjust the
micrometer knob
To get coincidence
in the v window

2) Hz Reading = 39°47’03” Do you agree?

FS 1 H mic 3
The vertical
circle readings
are referenced to
gravity
And the T1 has
an Auto
Compensator
So we do not
have to adjust
any bubbles
before reading
like we might
have to on some
other
instruments

Auto compensator 1
Auto compensator 2
Looks a little fuzzy –
maybe we should have
adjusted the micrometer
focus
Do we have coincidence in
the v box?

V Reading = 92°25’00” Do you agree ?

Using the

Lock the lower clamp and use the

acquire the BS target

You should now be on the

target and the Hz value
should not have changed

unclamp the

knob and turn
the telescope
to point in
the direction
of our FS

With the upper clamp
now locked use the upper

We must now
turn the
micrometer knob
until the double
lines in the Hz
box are bisected
by the single
degree line from
the horizontal
circle

RF FS mic 1
There does this look
like we have
coincidence?

If so our Hz reading is 79°33’56” Do you agree?

Now lets reduce our observations are they reasonable?
RF FS mic 2
We then readjusted the
micrometer knob to get a
reading on the vertical
circle.
Perhaps we could have
done a better job of setting
coincidence?
But we will take our
reading anyway (for
demonstration purposes).

V reading = 267°35’03” Do you agree?
