IMPROVED
INSTRUMENT FOR SURVEYING,

NHE subscriber desires to call the attention of the
i public to an "IMPROVED INSTRUMENT FOR
SURVEYING AND CALCULATING AREAS in
vented and patented by Col. JAMES NJ. L1LLEY, of
Stanton, Va
This instrument consists of semi circular plate,
with needle box attached to the diameter, and the
circular edge graduated in degrees and half degrees
and movable limb aidade attached to the centre
of the plate with verniers at both ends; thus the
bearing of line can be read for any number of de-
grees minutes.
The plate is so divided to form, with the scale of
the alidade traverse table of lines instead of num-
bers which gives at the latitude and departure
of any course and dis sance Iun
The table also answers the purpose for ascertainng
heights and distances the required distance is read
from the plate without the trouble of referring the
logarithmic tables.
1t gives the horizontal measurement of the lines of
a survey; and when there is local attraction the
lines ban be traced without using the needle there
being two pair of sights enabling the surveyor to
form at the angle required by the bearings of
the courses.
The variation of old line is easily calculated
