What is a Pivot Drafting Compass?

A Pivot Drafting Compass (COMPASS,DRAFTING,PIVOT) is an instrument consisting of two branches or legs joined at one end by a pivot, one leg having a needle point, the other a writing point. It is used for drawing circles. Points for use as dividers may be included, but at least one writing point must be included. For compass type dividers, see DIVIDERS, DRAFTING, PLAIN.

What is a Surveying Tripod?

A Surveying Tripod (TRIPOD,SURVEYING) is a three legged device for holding or supporting various types of surveying instruments or equipment with the legs hinged to the top or head.

A T-Square is a tool having a fixed or swivel head or crosspiece normally attached at a right angle to the end of a straight edge or blade. It is used as a guide for drawing straight lines in drafting.

What is a Drafting Triangle?

A Drafting Triangle (TRIANGLE,DRAFTING) is a thin, flat, plane, or graduated triangular piece of celluloid, wood, or metal, usually having a right angle and varying adjacent angles, or two attached triangles or graduated arms which may be adjusted to angles of various degrees. It is used as a guide for drawing lines. Excludes items punched as templates or line guides.

What is a Drawing Board?

A Drawing Board is a square or rectangular fabricated object, usually of wood, having at least one squared end and a flat smooth surface to which paper can be affixed for use in drafting. See also DRAWING BOARD AND TRESTLE; DRAFTING MACHINE AND DRAWING BOARD; PLANE TABLE BOARD; and SKETCHING BOARD.

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 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 Drawing Table?

A Drawing Table (TABLE,DRAWING) is an item consisting of a drawing board having an integral leg structure, either folding or rigid. May have drawer(s). Excludes DRAWING BOARD and DRAWING BOARD AND TRESTLE.

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.
