Seems that there are two separate models, with minor differences.Sturm78 wrote:About the last image posted by Seppo Koivisto, this device seems the same that the first image posted by me on 14 Aug 2014.
Juha identified this meteo theodolithe as an Askania model but Seppo as a Vaisala model ????
Askania

Picture SA 35552 in the mail on August 14 shows Finnish "kiertokaukoputki" = German "Rundblickfernrohr" = English "panoramic telescope", which is mounted on the artillery gun´s sight unit unit and used (mainly) for indirect firing i.e. fixing the gun traverse. Several makes and versions with minor differences in their construction were used by the Finnish Army. Juha´s mail of yesterday shows one of these.
Picture SA 37890 in the mail on August 17 shows Finnish "asemasuuntakehä" = German "Richtkreis" = English "aiming circle", which is used for determining firing positions and directions. The particular model shown is Tampella-designed "asemasuuntakehä 34 malli I", which was also manufactured by Valtion Tykkitehdas.
I am not able to see any significant difference in all images.....Juha wrote

Re: Id. Finnish equipment
There seem to be some (random?) differences among the ocular assembly, and the original Askania tripod seems to be slightly different, but I mainly ment these:Sturm78 wrote:I am not able to see any significant difference in all images.....
-the frame line
-the angular "attachment device"?
-the ballancing screw items
Re: Id. Finnish equipment
Thank you, Juha.
They're a really small differences. I guess that Vaisala model is a copy of Askania model, no?
On the other hand, Any idea about these small boats ?? Military equipment ??

Re: Id. Finnish equipment
Askania's own pilot balloon theodolite seems to be different. Maybe the Väisälä model was designed and first built by Askania after Väisälä specification and later the production was moved to the low cost country Finland.Sturm78 wrote: They're a really small differences.

Actually I don't remember seeing any theodolites (here) marked being produced by Vaisala.

Re: Id. Finnish equipment
V.Väisälä was a very small company making radiosondes, sounds unlikely they would have produced theodolites. Why it was called "Väisälä theodolite" in the company history may refer to the brother Yrjö Väisälä, active in optics and geodesy.
