Description: | The University of St Andrews has several objects connected to surveying in its Collection of Historic Scientific Instruments. These include a theodolite dating from the early 19th century and an alt-azimuth instrument made in Edinburgh by Adie & Son, about 1840. The alt-azimuth instrument consists of a telescope with a right-angle eyepiece which can be rotated horizontally and vertically so as to measure the altitude and azimuth of a distant object. | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS Surveying PHYSICS | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Creator: | University of St Andrews | Contributor: | Unoiversity of St Andrews | Identifier: | PH:C99 | Language: | en-GB | Relation: | MC:C48 |
