Canada
ORIGINALLY PURCHASED C.1915 BY DOMINION OBSERVATORY, ALONG WITH TWO OTHER ASTRONOMICAL TRANSITS. AS A HIGHLY PRECISE, PORTABLE TRANSIT INSTRUMENT IT WAS PROBABLY USED ON MANY SURVEYS BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA (GSC), TO WHOM IT WAS LOANED. IT CONTINUED TO BE USED BY GEODETIC SURVEY IN THE 1960S.
Function
TO DETERMINE TIME, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE & AZIMUTH IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH REFERENCE POINTS IN TRIANGULATION SURVEYS.
Technical
THIS TYPE OF PORTABLE TRANSIT INSTRUMENT IS KNOWN AS THE BROKEN-TELESCOPE TRANSIT: THE LIGHT WHICH PASSES THROUGH THE OBJECT GLASS IS REFLECTED THROUGH A RIGHT ANGLE BY MEANS OF A PRISM PLACED IN THE TRUNNION AXIS. AN EYE PIECE IS FITTED AT ONE END OF THE HOLLOW AXIS & A LAMP AT THE OTHER. BECAUSE OF THIS OPTICAL DESIGN THE STANDARDS CAN BE MADE LOWER AND THE INSTRUMENT MORE COMPACT (REF.3,P.62).
