Procedure:
1. Find the least count of the vernier attached with the index
arm.
2. Draw a horizontal line P as a reference line on the pillar of
the water tank.
4. Rotate the index arm towards zero of the scale till direct
image of reference line P coincides with the image of the
same reference line through the polished portion of horizon
glass plate M2
5. Now rotate the index arm away from zero
reading till the image of the top Q of water tank
in the mirror M2 coincides with the image of the
reference line P seen directly through the glass
plate M2 .
