MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL ANGLE
BY REITERATION METHOD
OBJECTIVE:
To measure horizontal angle by reiteration method.
EQUIPMENTS:
• Transit Theodolite
• Tripod and
• Ranging rods
PROCEDURE:
If it is required to measure angles AOB, BOC, and COD etc by reiteration method.
The following steps are to be used.
1. Set the instrument over “O” and level it set the Vernier to zero and bisect point A accurately.
2. Loose the upper clamp and turn the Telescope clockwise to point B. Bisect B by using the upper
tangent screw. Read both the Verniers, the mean of the Verniers will give the angles AOB.
3. Similarly, bisect successively C, D etc, thus closing the circle. Read both the Verniers at each
bisection.
4. Finally sight to A the reading of the vernier should be the same as the original setting reading.
Repeat the steps 02 to 04 with other face i.e. face Right.
