What is Theodolite Used For?
Theodolite is one of the major instruments used in surveying and engineering work. In recent times, theodolites are used for many other specialized tasks too like in meteorology and rocket launch technology.
Types of Theodolite
Various theodolite types are used for surveying and other specific purposes. Some of the types of theodolite include the following.
Repeating Theodolite- In this type of theodolite, several angle readings are taken on a graduated scale. The average angle measurement is then derived by dividing the accumulated sum readings by the number of observed readings. The results of repeating theodolites are reliable enough. However, this type of theodolites are confined for locations where the support is not stable or where space for using other such instruments is limited.
Direction Theodolites- In this type of theodolite, the circle is arranged to be fixed while the telescope is aimed on a number of signals. Readings on the circle are for every direction. These theodolites are very good option for triangulation purpose.
