Precise Less Tedious: Reiteration Method

This document describes the reiteration method of measuring horizontal angles with a theodolite. The method involves measuring several angles successively at a station and closing the horizon by sighting back to the initial point. Any discrepancy between the initial and final vernier readings is equally distributed among the measured angles. The procedure is demonstrated by measuring angles AOB, BOC, and COD, with the telescope directed to each point in turn before closing back on point A.

iii) Reiteration Method.

This method is another precise and


comparatively less tedious method
A
of measuring the horizontal angles. B

It is generally preferred when


several angles are to be measured
at a particular station.
This method consists in measuring o

several angles successively and
finally closing the horizon at the
starting point. The final reading of
the vernier A should be same as its D
initial reading. Reiteration Method
…If not ,the discrepancy is equally

measured angles. B

Procedure
Suppose it is required to measure
the angles AOB,BOC and COD.
Then to measure these angles by o

ii) Direct the telescope towards

accurately and check the reading
of vernier as 0 or 3600 . Loosen the

iv) Finally close the horizon by sighting A
