A special series of observations of the groups of stars performed in Pulkovo, Chile, Kharkov and Belgrade were used to compare the mean errors of the right ascension by means of the method eliminating the influence of the errors of the source catalogue. The results show the advantage of the small transit instruments over transit circles of the classical type.
