circle has a diameter of 13 cm. is divided to 10 min. and reads by means of
two micrometer microscopes to 10 sec. The telescope is fitted with hard
phosphor bronze bearing rings and is reversible. Aperture of objective is
30 mm. Two eye pieces are furnished giving magnification of 20 and 30
diameters. The prism has absolutely plane surfaces and will not affect the
definition. Striding level reads to 2 sec. The horizontal circle is
protected and reads by means of two verniers to 1 min. The instrument is
packed in a light but strong case. Price complete with tripod #$420.00#
#Note.#--This instrument was first constructed for Mr. E. de K.
