A New Method of Determining Absolute Azimuth and Latitude and Suggestion for a New Type of Meridian Circle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
This article describes a new method by which azimuth and the instantaneous latitude of a meridian-prime vertical-transit instrument can be determined absolutely in mid-and low- latitude areas, and discusses some experimental observations obtained on a remodeled ZEISS transit instrument. Requirements for the development of a new type of transit circle along the lines of this new method are also presented.
