Additional Information for Astronomic Position Surveying Set
An Astronomic Position Surveying Set is a collection of instruments used in surveying to determine precise positions on the Earth's surface based on astronomical observations. It is classified under the supply class Drafting, Surveying, and Mapping Instruments, which falls under the supply group Instruments and Laboratory Equipment.
The set typically includes the following instruments:
1. Theodolite: A precision instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It is essential for determining the direction and elevation of points on the ground.
2. Alidade: A sighting device attached to a theodolite or transit, used for measuring angles and aligning the instrument with the target.
3. Tripod: A three-legged support stand used to stabilize the theodolite or other surveying instruments.
4. Plumb Bob: A weighted object suspended from a string, used to establish a vertical reference line.
5. Leveling Rod: A graduated rod used to measure vertical distances or elevations.
6. Astronomical Telescope: A telescope designed for observing celestial objects, used in conjunction with other instruments to determine precise positions.
7. Celestial Navigation Tables: Reference tables used to calculate the positions of celestial bodies at specific times and locations.
8. Astronomical Almanac: A publication that provides astronomical data, such as the positions of celestial bodies, for a given year.
These instruments are used by surveyors and geodesists to establish accurate control points, determine the coordinates of survey stations, and create precise maps and charts.
