If is the smallest value can be measured by a theodolite. Least count =20” * The position of the arrow mark of the vernier scale coinciding with main scale is observed. That reading is from the main scale. Again the division that exactly coincides with any other main scale di has to be observed and added with the first reading. 6.6 MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL ANGLES There are two methods (i) Repetition method (ii) Reiteration method 6.6.1 Repetition method The angle is readings to get the an umbet Of times the total is divided by the number © Fight positions, "UNS angle is measured clockwise in both face left. qreodolite Surveying 6.7 procedure & oe Set the instrument at find the horizontal angle AOB by method of repetition. + The instrument is centered and levelled set vernier ‘A’ to zero and B to 180° | «The upper clamp is fixed and lower one loosened By turning the telescope, the ranging rod at ‘A’ is bisected with lower clamp screw.

Set the vernier ‘A’ to zero bisect the ranging rod at ‘A’ © "Loose the upper clamp and turn the telescope bisect ‘B’. Read both verniers the mean is the horizontal angle AOB.

This consists of three steps: (i) Setting up the instrument (ii) Levelling up the instrument (ii) Elimination of Parallax. 68.1 Seiting up the Instrument A suitable position is selected to place the instrument. The ground should be fairly level. The operation includes 1. Fix the instrument in tripod. 2. Levelling the instrument approximately by leg adjustments. The tripod legs are so adjusted that the instrument is at a convenient height (i.e not too low or too high) Fixing the Instrument The clamp screw of the instrument is released. The Transit is held in the right hand and fixed on the tripod by turning round the lowerpart by left hand and clamped in the tripud. Leg Adjustment The instrument is placed at a convenient height with the tripod legs, spread well apart and so adjusted that the tripod head is as nearly horizontal. * Two legs of the tripod are fixed firmly into the ground. © By moving the third leg left or right in circumferential direction to bring the main bubble approximately in the centre. * The third leg is firmly pushed in to the ground. 68.2 Levelling up Perfect Levelling is carried out with foot screws. ® Three foot screws = * The longitudinal bubble is placed parallel to two foot screws.
