IMPROVED INSTRUMENT FOR SUR
l. VEYING AND CALC ULATING AREAS, by JAS
NJ. L1LLEY, Staunton, Va.
This instrument is semi-circular plate, with a
needlebox attached to the diameter and the circular
edge graduated in degrees; and there being nova
BILE limb adade attached to the centre of the plate
with verners at both ends the bearing of line
be read for any number of degrees or minutes
The plate is divided as to form, with the scale O.
the aldade traverse table of lines instead of mum
bers which gives at once 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 a.
once the angle required by the bearings of the
ses.
The variation of old line is easily calculated or
it, and for such work as leveng for mil-races OF
draining land, 1t answers every purpose of the level
There is an attachment for solving oblique trian
triangle from which the be ascertained very
readily and it also gives the bearing and distance
the closing line In division of land.
