IMPROVED INSTRUMENT FOR SUR
i VEYING AND CALCULATING AREAS, by JAS.
M. LILLEy Stauntons Va. II.
This is instrument is a semi circular plate, with
neede-box attached to the diameter, and the circua
edge graduated in degrees; and there being nova
BILE limb or adade attached to the centre of the plate
with verniers at both ends, the bearing of line
be read for any number Of degrees or minutes
The plate divided to form, with the scale of
the aldade traverse table of lines instead of
bers which gives at the latitude and departure
of any course and distance run
The table answers the same purpose for ascertain
ing heights and distances the REQUIRED distance is
read from the plate without the trouble of referring
to the logarithmic tables.
1t gives the horizontal measurement of the lines of
survey and where there is local attraction the lines
can be traced independent of the needle, there being
two pair of sights enabling the surveyor to form at
the angie required by the bearings of the
SeS. i-4
The variation of an old line is easily calculated on
it, and for such work leveling for mill races or
draining land it answers every purpose OF the level
There is attachment for solving OblIque TRAN
ges which gives the base and perpendicular of the
triangle from which the be ascertained very
readily and it also gives the bearing and distance Of
the closing line in a division of land
The Instrument can be used with either the sights
or telescope.
The following is one of the many certificates which
have been obtained for this instrument:
U. S. CoAsT SURVEY OFFICE,
Washington, Jan. 10, 1859.
Lilley combination Of the Surveyors Compass with
protractor serving traverse table. 1t gives at
once the latitude and departure of any and dis
lance and has several other useful and ready ap
phcatlons In ordinary surveying.
The principles which it works are very obvious,
and far from being complicated it rather serves to
illustrate the nature of the survey Much labor ofcal
cuatlon and plotting NAV be saved by It's USE and,
when well made and correctly graduated, 1t will give
reliable results A. d. BAcaE, Supt U. S. c. S.
