Title: Improvements in or relating to Theodolites or similar Instruments.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER CHARLES PROSPER EUGE
Filed: 1906-08-21
Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 18,719. Schneider, C. P. E., and Rimailho, E. Aug. 21. Measuring horizontal angles; clinometers; theodolites; compasses.-A sighting-telescope u is pivoted on a sleeve j projecting at right-angles from a casing a, which may be rotated upon a spindle b by means of the worm and wheel gearing shown. The sleeve contains a magnetic needle k, which, by sighting it through the eyepiece l, serves to direct the line of sight exactly at right-angles to the magnetic meridian. The rotation of the instrument upon the spindle b is indicated by the dials e,f, the latter of which is graduated in subdivisions of the former. A scale y on the casing indicates the degree of rotation of the telescope upon the sleeve. The instrument may be supported with the spindle b either horizontal or vertical. Spirit levels are fitted in two adjacent faces of the casing. The spindle b is in two parts carrying the two halves of the wheel into which the worm c takes. One part can turn about the axis of the spindle under the influence of a spring arranged in a recess between this part and a fixed crown on the spindle. This ensures the teeth of the worm being securely engaged.
