What is a Parallel Ruler?

A Parallel Ruler is a tool for drawing a line parallel to another, or a series of parallel lines as a nongraduated flat straightedge, having two beveled edges running on a pair of rollers mounted in one of its sides or a pair of straightedges connected by two parallel links so that only one straightedge can be moved parallel to the other. Excludes STRAIGHTEDGE, PARALLEL RULING, GUIDE CORD.

What is a Surveying Level?

A Surveying Level (LEVEL,SURVEYING) is an instrument consisting of a leveling and sighting device, used for general topographic measurements, such as determining and delineating the form, extent or the like, of a tract of land. It is manually adjusted. Excludes CLINOMETER, ELEVATION AND DEPRESSION, SURVEYING and LEVEL, OPTICAL, AUTOMATIC.

What is a Drafting Machine?

A Drafting Machine is an instrument primarily used in drafting, consisting of two joined arms, one end being secured to a stationary surface and the other end equipped with an adjustable protractor and removable ruled scale(s); or two rigid beams, one beam anchored across full length of top of drawing board, the other beam perpendicular to top beam equipped with adjustable protractor and removable ruled scale(s). It is used as a guide for drawing parallel lines at any angle on a chart or drawing, or transmitting reference points.

What is a Beam Drafting Compass?

A Beam Drafting Compass (COMPASS,DRAFTING,BEAM) is an instrument consisting of two or more clamps which may be attached to a beam so that the distance between them may be varied. One of the clamps holds a needle point, and the other a writing point. It is used for drawing circles. Points for use as dividers may be included.

What is a Drafting Scale?

A Drafting Scale (SCALE,DRAFTING) is a thin, flat or triangular strip of wood, plastic, or other material, with one or more edges, graduated in common units of linear measurement (inches, centimeters, feet, yards, or meters), which are subdivided into fractional or decimal parts of the unit. Generally used in drafting for measuring distances. Excludes SCALE, PLOTTING and RULE (as modified).

What is a Plotting Scale?

A Plotting Scale (SCALE,PLOTTING) is a thin, flat or triangular shaped strip of wood, plastic or other material with one or more edges graduated in units applicable only for the plotting of distances represented by the map ratio printed on the scale. The scale may contain one edge graduated on a 1 to 1 ratio. Used for plotting or measuring distances on maps, charts, and the like. Excludes SCALE, DRAFTING and RULE (as modified).

What is a Surveying Theodolite?

A Surveying Theodolite (THEODOLITE,SURVEYING) is a precision telescopic instrument used in topographic and geodetic surveying or precise alignment operations. Generally, the optical systems for reading the horizontal and vertical circles are fully inclosed. The reading of the circles is made through optical micrometers. Some optical systems are so designed that readings of diametrically opposite points of the circles are mechanically averaged. The instruments are leveled by three leveling screws. Internal illumination may be provided for reading the circles and viewing the reticle crosslines. Excludes TRANSIT and TRANSIT, POCKET.

What is a Scribing Instrument Point?

A Scribing Instrument Point (POINT,SCRIBING INSTRUMENT) is a device designed to be inserted in a scribing instrument for use in scribing on coated plastic, glass sheets and similar materials generally used in the color separation drafting process of Military Cartography. The tip of the point is usually made of corundum or other exceptionally hard material for long wear. Excludes NEEDLE POINT, DRAFTING INSTRUMENT.

What is a Surveying Instrument Case?

A Surveying Instrument Case (CASE,SURVEYING INSTRUMENT) is a portable case designed to hold one or more SURVEYING INSTRUMENTS, (as modified). It may include clamps, spring clips, brackets, or the like, to secure the instrument, accessories and/or components. It may include padding to protect the instrument against shock and vibration.

NATO Supply Class 6675 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

NATO Supply Class 6675 specifically focuses on Drafting, Surveying, And Mapping Instruments. This class includes a wide range of instruments used for various purposes related to drafting, surveying, and mapping activities.

Some examples of instruments that fall under this class include:

1. Drafting instruments: These are tools used for precise drawing and drafting, such as compasses, rulers, protractors, and drafting machines.

2. Surveying instruments: These instruments are used for measuring and mapping land, including theodolites, total stations, levels, and GPS receivers.

3. Mapping instruments: These instruments are used for creating maps and charts, including map plotters, map measurers, and map rulers.

4. Photogrammetry instruments: These instruments are used for measuring distances and angles from photographs, such as stereoplotters and photogrammetric cameras.

5. Geodetic instruments: These instruments are used for precise positioning and measurements on the Earth's surface, including geodetic theodolites and GPS surveying equipment.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 6675 is specifically designed for military and defense purposes within the NATO organization. These instruments are used by military personnel for various applications, including military engineering, reconnaissance, and mapping activities.
