.IMPROyED INSTRUMENT
For Surveying ana Calculating Areas

fTyHIS instrument is semi circular plate, with
l. need1e-box attached to the diameter, and
the circular edge graduated in degrees and there
being movable limb or aidade attached to the
centre of the plate with verniers at both So the
bearing of line can be read for any number OF
degrees or minutes.
The plate is so divided as to form. with the scale
Of the adade, traverse table of lines instead Of
Aumbers, which gives at once the latitude and de-
parture of any course and distance run.
The table answers the same purpose for ascer-
eaiuing heights and distances, as the required dis
lance /: read from the plate without tie trouble Of
referring TO the logarithmic tables.
It 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 sur
vevor to form at once the angle required by the
bearings of the courses.
The variation of an old line is easily calculated
on it. and for such work as leveng for mill-races
or draining land, it answers every purpose of the
level.
There is an attachment for solving oblique tri-
angles, which gives the base and perpendicular of
the triangle. from which the area can be ascer-
tanned very readily; and it also gives the bearing
and distance of the closing line in division OF land
The Instrument can be usel with either che
sighth or telescope.

and we find tksIn to require but little repair-in
deed, they seepa not to be worn at all. We have
tried both the Singer and Wheeler d Wilson ma
