III. Materials
IV. Procedure
 Set-up the instrument over a control point
 Designate another point as reference to the azimuth where vertical circle reading will be set into 00-00-00
 turn the instrument telescope from the designated point to the direction of the sun
 read and record the following parameters and data as indicated from Table 1
 note: the interval between observation must not exceed two minutes
 note: a series must not exceed 20 minutes
 minimum of two series of observation will be observed
