§ Parts of Theodolite and their Functions
 Telescope
 Vertical circle
 Index frame
 The standards
 The upper plate
 The lower plate
 The leveling head
 The shifting head
 Plate level
 Tripod
 Plumb bob
 Magnetic compass
§ Preparation for making sightings

§ Focusing
§ Levelling
§ Setting up
§ Cantering
§ Errors in measurement

Collimation error

Horizontal axis error

Index error
§ Measurement of horizontal angle
§ Set device at point (B).

§ Focus the telescope to the point(A).

§ Turn the telescope to (B)with clockwise.

§ Take the reading of H.C.R of (A)&(B).

§ The Angle between BA & BC=difference between reading.

§ Measurement of vertical angle
Set device at the base line .

Turn telescope vertically to point (A).

Take the reading of V.C.R .

The angle = 90 –reading of V.C.R .

§ Stadia Method :

Height (h1).
Upper ridge
Lower ridge
Calculate length (L);
L=Θ+c cos Θ
Where; k & c are const .
h2 =L tan Θ
§ Computation of latitude and departure

Latitude of a line -1

Departure of the line -2

 § Sources of errors in theodolite

High winds
§ Closing error
Closing error;
Where; L=Latitude
And D=Departure

Relative Closing Error =

Where indicates the direction of closing error

§ Conclusion

Eventually;

We enable to know how to measure the horizontal and vertical angles of

theodolite and gain knowledge of how to handle the equipment’s during

the field work.
