is a builders "transit", also called an "aiming circle" since it was also used to determine points in an arc of fire of an artillery batery.

Hello to all ; more..........................................
Surveying instruments.
I think is a Stadia rod, which is a graduated rod that allows, using a topographic level, to measure level differences, that is, height differences. With a stadia, distances can also be measured with trigonometric methods.

Re: Surveying Instrument
In the artillery we used the same equipment for accurate survey. When in a hurry we could estimate the length of a vehicle and measure off the indices on the binocular lens. That could get your range within 100 meters of the target, which since the spread from mean point of impact might be 150 meters for battalion volley was plenty close enough.tigre wrote: ↑29 Mar 2020, 20:14Hello to all ; more..........................................
