THE ENGINEERS' TRANSIT OR
THEODOLITE
In reviewing the different parts of the transit and theodolite, it
will answer our purpose to include them, for the present, under one
head, using both terms as synonymous — the word theodolite having
been defined as an instrument of angular measure, possessing two
graduated circles, normal to each other, which during manipulation
are set in horizontal and vertical planes respectively. Authorities say
that it is generally believed that the word theodolite (theodolith) is a
combination of Oca sight, 080s road, and Aiffos stone and that
in order to understand this derivation it must be known that formerly
all supports upon which theodolites were placed were made of stone.
This meaning, however, seems somewhat ambiguous, and other deri-
vations have been sought. The etymology of the word is uncertain.
In classifying there appear two distinct groups of theodolites : the
simple theodolite, in which the lower clamp and tangential movement
is neglected; and the repeating theodolite, possessing the double hori-
zontal movement on spindle and plate, which is the principal feature
of all complete field instruments made for the engineer at the present
time.
The various parts of the transit or theodolite may be grouped
under the following heads, viz. :
Begipning from the base-plate we have :
1 — The tripod connection with the leveling, plumbing and center-
ing apparatus (Page 14) ;
2 — The centers (Page 17) ;
3 — The graduated plate and verniers (Page 17) ;
4 — The compass and variation plate ( Page 20) ;
5 — The standards with the vertical arc and its movements (Page
22);
6 — The gradienter ( Page 23 ) ;
7 — The spirit levels (Page 23) ;
8 — The telescope (Page 24).

1. The Tripod Connection
An important feature of the Lietz precision-class instruments is
that they are attached to the tripod by a friction coupling.
It has been customary to accomplish this, heretofore, in two differ-
ent ways. One is to attach the instrument to the tripod by means of
a screw at the base-plate, whereby it remains complete in all its parts
and is never separated above the leveling screws. This is the method
employed by the best makers, but it is somewhat tedious and unsafe,
as every engineer has had occasion to find out. It is often the case
that the screw will not catch, and there is always a loss of time and
patience in trying to enter the thread properly. Another point is that
while turning it on, the entire weight of the instrument rests upon the
screw thread, with a constant tendency to wear it away.
The second method of fastening the transit to the tripod is by
means of the center, making it attachable or detachable above the
leveling screws. In most cases the foot screws may also be turned
from the tripod head, but it is not unusual to have them remain as a
fixed part of it. This mode of coupling seems to us very defective.
The exposed center is liable to injury in many ways. Dust particles
accumulate, and it moves with difficulty in consequence, if it does not
cause fretting. But its greatest fault is the incumbent necessity of
providing for it what is called the flat center, for turning the upper
plate. In such an instrument the plates stand too high above the level-
ing screws, which causes unsteadiness. We believe it to be very
difficult, if not impossible, to do accurate work with such an instru-
ment.
These substantial reasons caused Mr. Lietz to invent the tripod
coupling, which is regarded as the most successful innovation by all
who have had occasion to use it.
Figure I fully illustrates this simple but most effectual device.
On the tripod head, instead of the ordinary screw, there are
three jaws. The base-plate of the instrument is swallowtail-shaped on
the inside (as shown at F), the head having a spring bolt C*. The
coupling of the two is done by letting one of the grooves on the
base-plate meet any one of the jaws on the tripod head, when one-
third of a revolution to the right will make the connection ; at the
same instant the spring C will fall into a hole in the base-plate, which
thus prevents any possible disconnection; the latter is effected by lift-
* The spring C in the latest construction is now placed on the tripod head, between the
lugs. See illustration, page 98.

ing the spring C and turning to the left. If the tripod head should
have been worn or bent by accident, the movable jaw D, which is
worked by the side-screw E (with a large adjusting pin), will again
give the coupling friction enough to hold the instrument perfectly firm
on the tripod.

LIETZ LEVELING HEAD
Quick leveling head attachment.
Price, extra, $20.00.
The chief merit of our arrangement is that it enables one to attach
or detach the instrument to or from its tripod more rapidly, firmly and
safely than by any other device so far known, and that, too,
without dividing the instrument proper into two parts, which is
always injurious to its accuracy and stability, as we have just pointed
out. To this we may add that it is more durable, easier to keep clean
and cannot get out of repair.
The movable jaw, once set for the instrument, need not again be
interfered with. It is absolutely needless to adjust the friction every
time the instrument is placed on the tripod.
We feel quite confident in saying that every engineer who has
once used this new coupling will readily detect its great merits, and
will never be without it. All the large-sized transits and levels of the
Lietz make fit the same tripod head, and are instantly adjusted.
Leveling Screws
As these are used more than' any other part of the instrument,
it is evident that they should be very durable. Those of the Lietz

T^TUTj A T TT?T'7 <T\~\/fT> A KTV MODERN ENGINEERS' AND
1 rail A. J_Arl/lZ/ LvUlVlr AIN I surveyors' instruments
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
make possess a very deep thread, rounded a little on the edge, which
insures a very smooth motion and greater durability than sharp-edged
threads. The screws are made of composition metal.
The lower construction of the transit is made with the view of
affording the greatest steadiness under all conditions. For that rea-
son the leveling screws are not run through a thin metal disc, with a
common nut attached for their operation, but an extra strong, star-
shaped casting, made in one piece, is provided, through which the
screws are passed and in which they operate.
The whole construction of this part is intended to insure the abso-
lute steadiness of the instrument, and to give it rigidity even in a
strong wind. Any other construction, with a light disc parallel to the
base-plate, cannot afford that stability which a first-class transit or level
should possess ; and, since this is one of the prerequisites of an instru-
ment of precision, we have laid particular stress upon our leveling
arrangement, which is of the most approved modern design.
For instruments of the greatest precision, as those used in triangu-
lation or geodetic work, it may be an advantage to arrange the base'
with three leveling screws instead of four. These changes will always
be made upon application. While the ordinary complete transit is more
compact and of greater utility with four screws, in a specially designed
instrument for the finest work it will always be well to consider the
advantages of the three-screw system, universally adopted in European
instruments.
Shifting Center for Facilitating Plumbing and Centering.
All our complete instruments are furnished with shifting plates for
the purpose of setting them precisely over a point, after having approxi-
mately done so by the tripod legs. This arrangement is of the greatest
utility to the field man, and we are convinced that those who have
adopted it will never again dispense with it.
While it does not make the instrument less rigid or portable, it
is so easily manipulated, and becomes a great labor-saving factor. In
order to center the instrument accurately, two of the leveling screws
require a slight loosening, when the transit may be shifted upon the
tripod until the center of the plumb-bob is directly over the point to
be occupied. The screws are then turned down and the instrument
leveled up in the usual manner, when it will stand as firm upon its
base as required.

2. The Centers
In manufacturing this all-important feature, the very backbone
of the instalment, too much care and attention cannot be bestowed.
It is essential that both of these metal axes should have the same
absolute center as the graduated plate and the horizontal telescope axis,
whichever way the instrument may be turned. This is accomplished
by the A. Lietz Company by making this detail a specialty. The care-
fully chosen material for the vertical axes, the exact method of turning
and fitting them, and the precision reached in the manner of center-
ing them, together with the subsequent scrutinizing test to deter-
mine the slightest eccentricity, have accomplished results as per-
fect as mechanical means and human ingenuity can achieve.
Eccentricity has been a source of annoyance and error to the
engineer, to determine which a number of practical methods have been
invented and put to use.
But with our modern transit, if used with ordinary care, this
source of error has been eliminated, or at least reduced to the lowest
possible minimum.
The length of our centers is from 2^4 to 4 inches, according to
size and style of instrument. To our best belief, this is more than the
instruments of any of the many different makes possess, having con-
stantly handled a great many of them in repairing. Yet, by examining
our illustrations, it will be noticed that with us the limb and vernier
plates are nearer to the tripod head than in those of other make, owing
to the judicious placing of the centers, which reach down into the
base, thus insuring the utmost stability. By comparing our cuts with
those in other catalogues, the reader will obtain a pretty fair idea of
what we mean to impress upon him — such a comparison being better
than any argument by either ourselves or others, based upon mere
assertion.
Examine carefully our construction of the centers, and you will
be soon convinced that our claim for rigidity and stability is fully
warranted.
3. The Graduated Plate
We have now come to the most essential part — the very soul of
the instrument. It is needless to dwell upon the necessity of an accu-
rate graduation ; it is self-evident, and it becomes the instrument-
maker's pride to make it so.
Page 17
THE A. LIETZ COMPANY Sl&ig^lWu^
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
We guarantee our work in this particular as perfectly reliable,
the graduation lines straight, thoroughly black and of uniform width.
The plate is accurately centered and free from eccentricity, as
already explained. Illustrations shown on Pages 62 and 63.
The horizontal circle is graduated from o to 360 degrees, with
two sets of figures running in opposite directions (unless ordered
differently). They are large and distinct, and, to avoid errors in read-
ing, the figures of these two sets, and those on their corresponding
verniers, are inclined on opposing slants, thus indicating the direction
in which the vernier should be read.
We recommend graduations on a solid silver ring, as that metal
offers many advantages for the purpose — in fact, its great permanency
and smoothness renders it the only satisfactory surface for fine gradu-
ations. However, they are made as the customer desires ; but since
the additional outlay for silver graduation is only $10, we seldom have
any difficulty in impressing the purchaser with its advantages.
It is customary with us to graduate circles so that they may be
read to single minutes or thirty seconds of arc. We make any
degree of refinement called for, but our manufactured goods are always
on hand in the two vernier divisions named.
The I 'crnier
This consists of a small sliding scale, movable upon a larger one,
so graduated that n parts thereof shall include either n -\- 1, or n — I
parts of the larger scale. The scale may be applied to either straight
lines or arcs, and aids to determine the smaller divisions of measure
between the lines on the larger scale. See illustrations Pages 62 and 63.
A tedious method for measuring small values of arc by means of
concentric circles was given in the early part of the sixteenth century
by a Portuguese, Pero Nunez (Nonius), and after him the name of
nonius is still applied in European countries to what we exclu-
sively call a vernier here. This term was justly given it in honor
of the Dutch captain, Peter Werner, who gave to the scale the sliding
shape in which we now apply and use it practically. Signing himself
"Pierre Vernier" in a discussion of the "Nonius," written by the
inventor in the French language and published in Brussels in 1631,
gave rise to the term we now almost universally employ.
The graduations on a vernier are usually so made that n divisions
thereof shall equal n — 1 divisions on the circle.
It becomes a simple problem to determine the value of n from the
following equation :

It is customary to graduate the circles of the Lietz transits in
20-minute divisions, reading to either 20 or 30 seconds on the vernier.
20 X 60
The value of n in these cases is : or 60 in the former, and
20 X 60
- or 40 in the latter ; or, in other words, 59 and 39 divisions on
the circle will correspond to 60 and 40 on the vernier respectively.
Instruments reading to one minute of arc are divided to 30 minutes on
the plate ; in that case 29 circle spaces are equal to 30 vernier spaces.
The verniers should be covered with glass to protect them from
exposure, and for ease in reading they should be provided with ground
glass shades.
Our verniers are in such position that the observer need not step
aside in order to read them, for we place them about 30 degrees from
the line of collimation. The method of thus placing them has been
pronounced objectionable, because the size of .the plate level, which is
at right angles to the line of collimation, and the more important of the
two, has to be reduced. By examining our instruments, however,
any one will see that we have attained the object without reducing
its length, without placing it over the vernier, and without allowing
it to extend fnaterially beyond the circumference of the plate — all of
which would be objectionable features.
The space between the circle and the vernier must appear, through
a magnifying glass, like a fine black line. No accurate reading can
be taken if the space appears wider than a mere line of uniform
thickness under the revolution of the plate.
Clamp and Tangent Screws
The lower clamp screw of our transit is of the best devised shape
and arrangement. It is strong and rigid, and answers the slightest
touch.

SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
The upper clamp does not come in contact with the limb, but grasps
the sleeve of the outside center. This is far preferable to the old
method of pressing together the two plates by means of a screw placed
at some point on the circumference.
The tangent screws are single only, and operate in metal cases
against opposing springs. Great care has been bestowed ih eliminating
all lost motion of these screws. We; consider double tangent screws,
working against a tongue, as entirely obsolete. Any instrument sold
today with double opposing tangent screws may be set down as anti-
quated and behind the times. It is absolutely necessary that every-
thing tending to create lost motion must be carefully avoided. While
adjusting the line of collimation, this source of error becomes very
annoying, for, in revolving the telescope, the plate is liable to turn
slightly and the operator is never sure whether the cross-hairs are in
adjustment or not.
The arrangement of our tangent screws combine simplicity with
absolute reliability. Being single, they require but one hand in manipu-
lation, and their judicious location and spring case arrangement make
them active and operative at any instant.
4. The Compass
Our needle differs somewhat in shape from others, being a little
smaller in the center than towards the ends, for the reason that the
magnetic influence is manifested at the ends only, so that all the central
metal may be called dead weight. Compared with those of other
makers, the Lietz needle is, therefore, a little lighter, which conditions
the increased durability of the point upon which it poises.
Hard steel has the capacity of retaining magnetism longer and
better than when tempered, and for that reason we have adopted the
plan of leaving one-half inch on both ends perfectly hard.
The closest attention is given to the center cap — ■ which contains
an agate setting — and to the pin upon which the needle rests, for the
accuracy or sensitiveness depends principally upon these two details.
These needles possess that degree of sensitiveness required in a high-
grade instrument. A sluggish needle — one that will hang like a dead
load — is not fit for the observation of a reliable azimuth.
The center pin must occupy the true center of the graduated circle,
and must stand normal to its plane. We utilize precise instruments
with high magnifying power to obtain the absolute true position of
the pin, in order to avoid all errors due to eccentricity.
Page 20

SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
The lifting arrangement is applied with the view of raising and
lowering the needle gently and gradually, as any sudden drop to the
pin, or any quick action of arresting its motion, is sure to cause a
rapid wearing of the point and the cap.
The Compass is divided into 30-minute divisions, and numbered
from o to 90 degrees in each quadrant from the north and south points.
This is done to conform with the usual practice of surveyors in this
country to record bearings in the four quadrants. But any desired
method of numbering the compass, either from o to 180 degrees, or
from o to 360 degrees, may be had upon application.
In order to record at once the true bearings in the field, instead
of the magnetic, the instrument can be provided with a variation plate,
1. e., an arrangement for laying off the local deviation of the needle
by a movement of the graduated compass ring, so that the indicated
course of a line shall show at once its relation to the true meridian. It
is so made that the variation may be laid off with precision to the
minute, by the aid of the instrument's vernier.
This is done in the following manner :
Having set the plate vernier to zero, adjust the instrument and,
with the aid of a good reading glass, place it in such a direction that
the north end of the needle shall point to the zero of the compass ring,
which latter must coincide with the little pointer provided for that
purpose. Having carefully set the instrument thusly by means of the
lower clamp and its tangent screw, which can certainly be done to the
nearest minute of arc, we release the clamp of the plate and proceed
to lay off the amount of the local deviation of the needle in degrees
and minutes by means of the plate-vernier — to the right if the variation
be east. The instrument is now again in a fixed position, the telescope
pointing to the true north, or as much to the left of the needle as the
magnetic variation is east. We now proceed to turn the ring until its
zero shall coincide exactly with the north end of the needle, when every
subsequent reading of the compass, in any position, will indicate the
bearing of the vertical telescope axis from the true meridian.
This simple little device is fully up to the standard of accuracy
required, for with care in setting the needle we can always obtain
results correct within the nearest minute. We find that by this method
the additional vernier, usually placed inside of the compass ring, be-
comes superfluous, as the plate and vernier of the transit are perfectly
capable of taking care of the duties of this unnecessary accessory.

The variation plate has proven a great labor-saving device, as the
observed courses require no reduction to the true meridian subsequently.
It is now almost universally called for; and for those practitioners
with whom land surveying is a specialty we should, by all means,
recommend it as an indispensable feature.
5. The Standards and Vertical Arc
The standards are so constructed as to give the maximum support
to the telescope, commensurate with the size of the plate. They are
light, but rigid and strong.
To avoid unequal expansion of the metal in the standards by
exposure in the hot sun, which has a tendency to elevate one end of the
telescope axis and to depress the other, vitiating the adjustment, they
are now what we call "Torchon" finished. This finish, being a non-con-
ductor of heat, reduces to a minimum this source of possible error,
which, in very sensitive instruments, is of sufficient moment to be
guarded against. Other parts of our instruments are also finished
in the same manner, particularly Level telescopes, which we shall have
reason to mention again hereafter.
The bearings for the telescope axis are made with extra care and
attention.
The axes of the Lietz transit telescopes are cut to conical or
cylindrical bearings, which is a feature altogether preferable to the cor-
rugated shape frequently found in surveying instruments. The advan-
tage of the former is very evident, in that there is less friction than by
any other contact; and, in addition to that, it affords a much finer fitting
by reason of its shape. But it is very essential that the hardest metal
should be used for this purpose, as a material of insufficient hardness
would soon wear, and the axes would become elliptical.
One of the standards is supplied with an adjusting device to
regulate any inaccuracy in the motion of the telescope in -the true verti-
cal plane, when the centers of the instrument stand vertically.
One standard carries the arc for observing vertical angles, which
may be either a full or a half-circle, as the customer desires. It is
usually made to read to minutes, but may be graduated finer if so
ordered. A clamp and tangent screw are provided on the right-hand
standard, which are made like those already described for the hori-
zontal movement. Every part of the vertical measuring apparatus is
strongly and accurately made and fitted, to insure the best results in
its practical application.

6. The Gradienter
The head of the tangent screw of the vertical arc movement is
made somewhat larger, properly silvered and graduated into a number
of equal parts on its circumference, the thread of the screw being cut
with great precision, so that its revolution may be accurately recorded
by the divisions of the micrometer head. See illustration Page 65.
One complete revolution of the screw corresponds to B/io OI a foot
of difference in level in 100 feet. Since the head is divided into fifty
parts, it follows that one division equals a difference of yi00 of a foot
in 100 feet. 'We can also furnish with a moveable head admitting a zero
netting.
With this attachment grades may be established very quickly. It
is only necessary to set the screw head to zero, level and clamp the
telescope, and turn the screw up or down as many spaces as there are
hundredths of a foot of rise or fall in one hundred feet of the grade
to be laid out. With the small scale over the screw thrown back, the
gradienter is used as an ordinary tangent screw. It is one of the most
useful accessories, is easily applied, and adds nothing to the weight of
the instrument.
This attachment is also useful in the determination of horizontal
distances, it being obvious that the difference in rod reading between
two complete revolutions of the screw will indicate at once the distance
of the rod from the observer. Where the ground is level, or nearly so,
the simple difference in rod reading will suffice; but when this is not
the case, the necessary corrections will have to be applied to obtain the
true horizontal distance.
7. The Spirit Levels
We nave already noted that for our purposes we use the very
best article obtainable.
An instrument of precision, capable of measuring delicate differ-
ences, requires delicate and sensitive levels. This is so obvious that we
ought not to call attention to it here, were it not for the fact that we
are frequently approached by surveyors who wish to impress upon
us the idea that this or that make of instrument met with their approval
because its bubbles would stay in place when once adjusted. For this
reason we want to repeat that it is no claim for superiority of a spirit
level because it works sluggishly. An engineer in the field must know
when his instrument is absolutely level, and its bubbles should indicate
to him at once when this is not the case. If they do not do so, then
Page 23
THE A. LIETZ COMPANY a$v^oKll5rVND
• INSTRUMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
the instrument does not come up to the required standard of a precise
tool. It would hardly do to place a carpenter's level on a transit, yet
we have no doubt that its excellent qualities of remaining stationary
would find admirers.
There is, of course, a limit to the degree of sensitiveness, and that
we never exceed, adapting it in all cases to the work demanded of the
particular instrument in hand.
Our levels are ground to the proper curvature, and each is care-
fully tested upon our level tester before it is attached anywhere.
The telescope can be fitted with reversible level if desired.
8. The Telescope
We have now reached another most essential feature of the instru-
ment— that which may be compared to the head of the body, containing
the delicate organ of sight — the lens.
The Lenses
We have already called attention to the fact that our optical acces-
sories are the finest made and that we take great pains to obtain the
best article for the purpose.
Without going into the detail of optical mathematics and formulas,
that can be readily found in any text-book on physics, we all know that
it has been the constant aim to produce lenses as free from spherical
and chromatic aberration as it is possible to make them. The lenses
of the Lietz telescopes are an achievement in theoretical and practical
science of which it would be interesting to make some explanation had
we the space to give to it.
The Eye-Piece
Two forms of ■ eye-piece are known, the one giving the erect
vision' of the object, the other an inverted image. The latter admits of
a greater amount of light and also allows a longer focal length to the
object glass, thereby correcting spherical aberration besides increasing
the magnifying power.
We have always considered this inverting form the more advan-
tageous of the two ; and we are convinced that if our engineers would
accustom themselves to its use, it would finally be preferred ; but we
can appreciate the greater convenience of the erect form when the in-
strument is used by many men.

SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
The optical powers of the telescope are in perfect keeping with
the accuracy of the centers, graduation and spirit levels, insuring a
complete reliability and harmony in every part of the instrument for
the most refined surveying work.
The eye-piece (always erect unless specially ordered) is so arranged
as to permit its easy removal, if necessary, by simply unscrewing it.
In replacing, it should always be well tightened up. It is movable in
and out by a revolving motion, turning the cap about one-sixth of a
revolution backward or forward, comprising the most practical and
efficient method.
We shall now describe in a few words the mechanical construc-
tion of its other parts.
Other Parts of Telescope
The slide, to which the object is attached, fits directly in the out-
side or body of the tube. Particular attention is paid to this part to
prevent even the slightest shake, and still procure an equal and sure
motion, which is absolutely necessary, as no true adjustment of the
line of collimation is possible otherwise. The motion is given by a
spiral rack and pinion.
The sliding tube is protected from dust and dirt by an exterioi
metal cylinder, called the slide protector.
A sun shade is provided for the objective, which should always
be attached, as the telescope, when focused to mean distance, is bal-
anced with it; and a cap is provided for the protection of the objective
when not in use.
The cross-wire frame is suspended in the tube by four capstan-
headed-screws, by which it is adjusted, the frame being so constructed
that the cross-wires cannot be torn, in case the adjusting screws are
tightened too much.
The spider web used for our instruments is properly treated to
avoid all twist, and to prevent its lengthening and becoming crooked
in damp weather ; it cannot become loose, as it is well secured.
For mining and tunnel transits we can provide proper means for
illuminating the cross-wires — an arrangement that is readily supplied
upon application.
Quite a number of glass diaphragms have been cut by us for. the
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Instead of the spider webs,
a small disc of very thin glass is fastened to the diaphragm, on which
fine lines have been drawn with a diamond. It is readily seen that
Page 26

SURVEYORS' INSTRUMI
these cannot get out of shape, and for stadia measurements we think
them of great advantage. The only drawback is that small particles
of dust may settle on the glass disc, and, as they are in the focus of
the eye-piece, they will be constantly visible to the observer.
We make no extra charge for putting those diaphragms into our
new instruments, if ordered in time.
Stadia hairs are placed in our transits (and levels) when ordered.
We have superior facilities for setting them with great precision to
any desired ratio between distance and rod reading. It is customary
to place them so that they shall read I foot on the rod for a distance
of ioo feet, and to this measure we always have them in our stock
on hand.
The stadia hairs may be fixed or adjustable. We advise the fixed,
as they are less liable to change their distance. In an adjustable set
the observer is never certain that the position of the wires has remained
unchanged. We have constructed a delicate optical and mechanical
apparatus for fixing stadia hairs accurately to any proportion ; and
by means of our powerful telescope, which has superior optical quali-
ties, we can safely say that, with proper care and a little experience
in that method of measuring, very satisfactory results may be obtained.
The facilities for measuring across inaccessible places, and the speed
with which it enables one to get distances, has brought this method into
deserved prominence with our engineers. For topographical surveys
it is indispensable.
When purchasing a new instrument, it is advisable to get one
that has fixed stadia wires, which increases the cost only $3, while we
charge $10 to put them into a transit or level sent to us subsequently.
In sighting with the telescope it is of considerable advantage to
have it reversible, and our transits are made so as to allow this free
revolution in a vertical plane. The telescope balances accurately when
in focus to mean distance, the friction in the bearings being shaded to
such a degree of nicety that it shall neither work too hard nor too
loose — a feature which ought to have very close attention.
General Remarks About Telescopes •
When selecting or examining an instrument, the engineer should
be particularly careful to test the qualities of the telescope.
It should have sufficient magnifying power to correspond with
the finer qualities of the graduation, axis, centers, spirit levels, etc., of
the instrument. There can be no doubt that the excellencies of each
detail must compare with that of any other.

Now, by using a low-power telescope, the defects of an inferior
instrument may be hidden, or left undiscoverable, and for this reason
they will always be found in articles of lower grade. Had such an
instrument lenses of sufficient magnifying power, the defects would
become apparent to the engineer at once. We lay the greatest im-
portance upon these facts, and for this reason call particular attention
to them. Scrutinise the optical abilities of the telescope, and you will
obtain the character of the whole instrument.
An engineer should be careful to convince himself of the real mag-
nifying power before making a purchase. He will find it much to his
interest to do so.
We have found that the power of first-class instruments should
be about twice as many diameters as the length of telescope expressed
in inches. In inverting telescopes it may be materially increased, which
shows again that they are of considerable importance in very high
grade instruments.
In another place we have added a practical method for finding the
magnifying power of a telescope, to which we would advise our
engineers to give some attention, and to make use of when about to
choose an instrument.
We have already pointed out the importance of perfectly center-
ing the lenses, especially the objective. If this is not properly attended
to, the adjustment can never be perfected for long and short distances.
We have heard many complaints of various makes about the
change in adjustment, and after careful examination we have found
that the adjustments remained intact, but that the fault lay in the
objective, which had not been correctly centered. We take great pains
to center our object glasses perfectly, and to insert the lenses in such
a manner that if taken out they may be replaced in the old position,
which is secured by a notch and a pin. It is not advisable for engineers,
however, to take these lenses from the cell, as their cleaning may be
effected without removing them.
Reverting again to the magnifying power of telescopes, it may
be asserted that an increase thereof reduces the field. This is no defect,
if the size of the latter is retained large enough to admit of stadia lines
so placed as to read I :ioo. We often leave the field much larger,
however, in which case there appears just a slight dimness at the ex-
treme border; this is unimportant, for it does not retract any of the
virtues of the glass, and possesses, if anything, an advantage of finding
an object more readily.

The quality of some of the telescopes of our best makers has
often been questioned by competent engineers on account of a peculiar
haze ascribed to the glass. This was found to be caused by a small
film of moisture, which settles between the crown and the flint, and is
not visible to the naked eye. We have been convinced, by advising
with our optician, that the crown and flint glasses should always be
connected with balsam. This does not decrease the amount of light,
as formerly thought, but, on the contrary, it has advantages of clear-
ness, in that it prevents foreign matter from settling between the lenses,
which always destroys the image ; the refrangibility, too, is under more
favorable conditions in the balsam.
Extra Accessories for the Transit
There are a number of additions made for transits used for special
purposes, and these we keep on hand, and supply them when called for.
For laying off right-angles, for instance, we can make any pro-
vision, if the customer will order it in time. In fact, any of the
accessories, not usual in the ordinary complete field instrument, will
be made as an extra if our patrons will notify us.
For the solar attachment we provide a block with a thread on the
telescope axis to receive these beautiful little apparatuses of which
complete descriptions will be found later.
The Finish.
This is made to give the instrument an elegant, tasteful appear-
ance, without adopting a color glaring to the eye. Our instruments
are finished in an elegant leathered effect, but may be bronzed to the
special taste of the purchaser, if he chooses to order it.
Size of Transit.
The dimensions and proportions of the several parts of the transit
are given in Part II of this catalogue, where the different sizes and
varieties of instruments made are described more in detail.
Packing.
This is not at all an unimportant feature. Our transit is easily
taken from the tripod by means of the Lietz friction coupling already
described, and set upon a wooden slide, to which it is fastened by means
Page 29
TTTUT? A T TTTTTT PHA/fPAMV modern engineers' and
1 rlJli A. Lyl-C/lZ/ liVJlVlrArN I surveyors' instruments
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
of two thumb screws and wooden clutches — a manipulation requiring
but a moment's time. Nothing is taken from the instrument except the
shade — it remains a complete whole from the base-plate to the top of
the telescope. The board slides into the box with the transit in an
upright position, with the clamps secured to keep it from turning. An
extra place is provided for the solar attachment, if there be one. The
door may then be locked, and the instrument is absolutely safe, with
the least effort of packing and adjusting in the box.
Rubber cushions are provided at the bottom of the case, to take
up any sudden jar or jolt to which it may be exposed during transpor-
tation.
The Tripod.
We have adopted the new form of split leg — a construction which
combines the greatest stiffness and strength with the least weight. The
old form of the heavy solid leg has long since been abandoned, and we
no longer make such a tripod, unless specially ordered by some con-
servative customer, or for very small instruments. We aim to reduce
the weight of everything, without sacrificing steadiness or strength in
any particular, and that the split leg meets these conditions better than
the solid one must stand to reason.
The very best white ash is chosen and carefully worked. Instead
of fitting the leg between two brass cheeks, we fit one cheek in the
leg. In the older construction it frequently happened, in drawing the
bolts closer to tighten a loose leg, that the cheeks would spring the
plate, or weaken the screws that hold it. This is entirely obviated by
the new arrangement of these parts, for the tightening can no longer
affect the plate in the least. While in the former the leg would only
fit at the lower part of the cheeks when drawn in by the bolt, it will
always fit the whole surface of the cheek in the plan we follow, and
after ten years' use it will be just as steady as when new.
The shoes are made on a gradual taper to a sharp point, and
securely fastened to the leg. They are provided with a projection for
pressing upon with the foot when setting up.
The large transit and the level fit the same tripod — in fact, any
Lietz instrument may be readily fitted upon the tripod we manufacture,
for the adjustment of the friction coupling allows a perfect accommo-
dation to any slight variation in the parts of the base-plate.
Page 30

LEVELING INSTRUMENTS
I.ietz levels are manufactured in two different types, which we
aim tn keep constantly in stock, the Y-level and the Dumpy level.
In the manner of making these instruments, much that has been
said of the transit will hold good here, and need not be repeated.
The three main qualities to be secured in a level are : stability, a
sensitize bubble and a powerful telescope.
To secure the first, we need only refer to the solid construction
of the star-shaped casting through which the leveling screws operate,
already described in speaking of that feature in the transit. The Lietz
coupling, too, plays an important part here, for we can make the tripod
connection absolutely rigid.
The center, or spindle, is almost three and one-half inches long,
and is continued through the damp up to the bar, which enables us
to bring the center of gravity as near as possible to the tripod head.
Great care is exercised in fitting the center to the socket, and, being
made of the hardest composition, it must be apparent that it is an
utter impossibility to wear out these parts, even by fifty years' constant
use. The liability of bending the spindle, so common an accident with
instruments having soft centers, and the fretting of the same, also
likely to happen at times, is altogether avoided.
The reasons for having a sensitive bubble have also been carefully
set forth heretofore. Accurate work cannot be done with a sluggish
bubble. No matter how much the virtues of the staying qualities may
be extolled by some men, they are not fit for refined work if they do
not answer the slightest touch of the leveling screw. If you can give
a screw a twist or two before the bubble loses its peaceful equanimity,
the work in hand would not be likely to inspire any great confidence.
Our level tube* is curved, so as to give for every two minutes of
arc a one-inch motion of the bubble. A refined level of this character,
however, will only do good service in an instrument having perfect
steadiness and a powerful and sharply defining telescope. If placed
in a level so constructed as to be topheavy, or in one whose center is
frequently exposed by being a part of the tripod head — and therefore
liable to collect dust both on the cone and in the socket, introducing
sources of error after every detachment — then it will indeed prove
very annoying, should an active bubble accompany such an instrument.

These structural defects are probably the cause why many of our
engineers are prejudiced against sensitive levels, and prefer a sluggish
or dull one. We can only assure the reader again that a lively bubble,
even if a little out of center by reversing the instrument, will still
accomplish better results than an inactive one — one that gives the
instrument an appearance of steadiness, which in reality it is far from
possessing. An engineer only deceives himself if he trusts to a slowly
acting level, which gives apparent satisfaction by concealing the errors
that a sensitive one would soon indicate. A precision instrument
never suffers by having its qualities exposed by a high-grade bubble.
The level telescope should have power and definition. It is hardly
necessary to make that statement, after all that has been said on this
subject in a previous chapter. It has been our earnest endeavor to
obtain these results, without increasing the dimensions of the telescope
and the other parts of the instrument, beyond the proper limits for
steadiness and portability. A length of eighteen inches we have found
to give the most advantageous results. Experience has shown us, that
although an increased length adds to the magnifying power, it would
only be of value if the other parts of the instrument were enlarged
in proportion, which, on the other hand, would make it too heavy for
convenience in carrying and offer more surface to the wind, thereby
reducing steadiness, we believe that with our 1 8-inch level even the
most extensive requirements in engineering are fully met.
Our new and improved eye-piece, and the use of an objective of
proper proportioned diameter, enable us to obtain a magnifying
power of 33. An increase of diameter adds very little to the weight
of the telescope, and does not require a longer bar and larger plates,
as an increase in length necessarily would, to retain steadiness. An
aperture of l^i inches, used to its full value, affords a high illumina-
tion with the above-mentioned power, as the tube is large enough to
let all the rays proceeding from the object glass pass through to the
field of view.
The diameter of the aperture of the object glass divided by the
power, gives the diameter of the pencil of light entering the eye. In
our telescope we obtain, therefore, iy% -f- 33 = y,4 of an inch, which
shows that power and brightness are in, accordance with optical law.
To force the power beyond these limits we cannot conscientiously do,
as that would be allowable only under certain circumstances — such as
a perfectly clear atmosphere with a strong illumination of the object.

The collars, upon which the telescope rests in the Ys, are made of
the hardest bell metal, and admit of a position in cither direction, that
is. the telescope is reversible. The very first requisite is that these
collars must be of exactly equal diameter and perfect cylinders. If this
be not the case, the line of collimation will not be parallel to a tangent
of the bubble's curve at its highest point, when the latter indicates a
horizontal position, and, for this reason, a true level cannot be obtained
with such an instrument.
It is very often believed that in the course of adjusting the
V-lcvcl. by reversal of telescope and revolving on center, the bubble
will indicate any inequality of the collars, but this is by no means true.
If the Ys are both filed out to the same angle (this is generally the
case, or at least very nearly so. as most makers file them out by means
of gauges), the inequality of the collars may be quite appreciable, and
yet the instrument will be adjustable in all its parts ; in other words,
it may be so adjusted that the bubble on all reversals in the Ys and
revolutions on center, will always give the same reading at both ends,
that is, indicate a true horizontal position. A final test is necessary,
therefore, after the instrument is properly adjusted, to ascertain the
equality of the collars. This will be mentioned further on under the
head of adjustments.
Similar causes for error are introduced if a particle of sand lodges
between the collar and Y, which illustrates the necessity of keeping
these parts free from all dust and dirt.
It is readily demonstrated to what considerable difference any
slight inequality in the diameters of the collars may give rise to, but
the space here will not permit of a mathematical discussion of the
subject.
We have carefully explained this defect, owing to the conviction
on our part that it is a much more common one than is generally sus-
pected. Numerous cases have come under our observation, where this
fault existed in a remarkable degree. And in the perusal of many
works on engineering and surveying, we have noticed very few that
call attention to this material defect, and still less that give a correct
test for it.
We are aware that accurate leveling may be done with a level out
of adjustment, if the utmost precaution is taken to have equi-distant
fore- and backsight. But looking at it from this point of view, why
not use the dumpy level then, instead of the more costly Y-level?
The Finish is made to give the instrument an elegant appearance,

and yet obtain all the qualities alluded to in a previous discussion of the
same subject. The telescope is "Torchon" finished to avoid that
unequal expansion of the metal heretofore mentioned. This finish is
of a color pleasing to the eye, is applied so that it remains intact for
a long time, and if somewhat worn after a long period of exposure, it
can be readily reapplied without difficulty at a trifling expenditure.
This finish is a modern feature, and one that is so universally pre-
ferred, that we have no hesitation in recommending it to our patrons
as worthy of their consideration. However, we also keep in stock the
bronzed and lacquer finished level telescopes, so that the customer may
have his choice in the matter.
The level telescope is supplied with a slide protector and with a
sunshade ; the latter should always be put on to balance it evenly. A
cap is also provided for the objective and a shutter for the eye-lens.
In all other matters the transit details obtain here also.
Fixed stadia wires can be supplied, set to read 1 :100, for which an
extra charge is made if ordered, unless included in price stated.
The center movement is checked and regulated by a clamp and
tangent screw, exactly similar to those of the transit.
Other useful accessories are attached, but any feature not usually
found in the Y-level, must be ordered beforehand.
We are likewise in a position to make, but upon order only, levels
of precision for the most exact work that the geodetic surveyor is
called upon to perform. These are provided with all the delicate
details that such an instrument must possess. We invite correspond-
ence upon the subject of geodetic instruments, and will cheerfully
furnish prices after consulting with our patron upon the nature and
character of the instrument required.
The packing in the case has been made so as to assure safety in
transportation, with the least trouble and inconvenience to the operator.
The level is taken from the tripod by a third of a revolution of the
base plate, which undoes the Lietz Coupling. It is let down to stand
upright in the box, when the closing of the lid holds everything firmly
in place. In all minor details the level box is similar to the transit
case, every means being employed to insure absolute safety.
The Dumpy Level.
In this instrument the aim has been to construct it in such a
manner that it shall be as compact as possible by dispensing with
Page 34
§K$y THE A. LIETZ COMPANY
S \n i u INCISCO, U. S. A.
certain features of the Y-level, not absolutely necessary in order to do
good and reliable work.
The principles governing its construction are the same as those
that obtain in the more elaborate Y-instrument.
The telescope is permanently held by two vertical arms attached
to the level bar, and cannot be taken therefrom. The level tube rests
upon these anus, over the telescope, and is also fixed. The telescope
tube is thereby brought as close as possible to the tripod head, which
is a desirable characteristic. All the other features remain the same
as in the Y-level construction.
This instrument, which is almost exclusively used in Europe, has
not yet met with that favor by American engineers, which its simplicity
and accuracy so justly deserves. This is due partly to its greater
inconvenience in adjusting as compared with the Y-level, and partly
on account of defective construction, inferior telescope and other
neglected details, which usually obtain in instruments of this kind.
We are confident that a dumpy level possessing a good telescope,
sensitive bubble and stability, will do just as good work as the more
costly Y-level. While the adjustment of the latter is made more
readily, the former will retain it longer.
( )ur dumpy level has a bronze center, a 16-inch telescope, and a
vial of such curvature, as to give for each inch of motion of the bubble
an angle of three minutes.
There is no clamp or tangent screw to this form unless ordered
by the customer.
The bar, telescope and vial case are "Torchon" finished, and the
latter may be provided with a folding mirror, which acts as an important
protection to the more exposed spirit level when shut down, or as
an indicator to the observer at the eye-piece, of the exact position of
the bubble, when elevated. See No. 20M, Page 101.
The stadia hairs may also be supplied to the dumpy level.
Other Levels on Sale.
In addition to the high grade instruments described, we also keep
on hand a supply of smaller and less costly goods for leveling. With
these instruments work may be done by the ditcher, irrigator, con-
tractor, grader, farmer, dike-builder, gardener, plumber, architect,
forester and military man, sufficiently precise for many ordinary pur-
poses, wherein great accuracy is not required.

REMARKS
In the foregoing we have endeavored to give the reader a fair
idea of the principal engineering instruments made by this firm. We
desire to convince our future customers — our old patrons we have long
since convinced — that we are building conscientiously upon scientific
principles, that every part and detail has been carefully studied to
meet the requirements of our engineering fraternity, of the climate,
and of all those conditions that influence the shape and character of
every feature of the surveying instrument. It must permit of all
operations at the least expenditure o"f time, it must be compact, it
must be light, it must be absolutely accurate, it must be rigid, it must
be stable and it must possess strength. And wherever a possible im-
provement is suggested in any detail, it must be applied at once and
tested as to its probable merits, and if it prove of value, no time must
be lost in introducing it. These are the principles that have governed
the manufacture of the articles which we have brought to your notice.
New improvements have always had our attention, without any
regard of the expenses incurred in experimenting. We need only
refer to the introduction of aluminum in the manufacture of survey-
ing instruments, which, we are fully convinced, has been crowned with
success, to prove to our patrons that we never allow any conservative
notion to rule the establishment. The particulars of this new field of
manufacture will be found in another chapter of this part of the
Manual.
With the object constantly in view to make only the very best
article that can be produced, and ever ready to introduce improve-
ments and to experiment with suggestions that may lead to
them, our instruments are held at a price that is commensurate with
their qualities. Their values are rated by those current among first-
class instrument makers ; they are no more, but they are no less. We
do not handle cheap goods, and the trade that we are most anxious
to please is that willing to pay a fair price for a number-one article.
It was our purpose to describe in this catalogue only the instru-
ments for which there exists the greatest demand, and for this reason
we do not intend, at this time, to enter into any detail of the manu-
facture of other scientific apparatus that we are in position to furnish
upon due notice.
Theodolites of the highest grade for the most exact purpose,
reading with micrometers to the most refined division, are made

upon order to any desired shape and design, and with every required
accessor)'.
We also manufacture the topographer's plane-table, either in its
simplest form, as recently perfected by the highest authorities, or in
its most delicate arrangement of parts, as devised for work of the
greatest precision capable of being put on paper. A number of plane-
tables made for our institutions of learning, and for surveying depart-
ments of the I'. S. Government, have given absolute satisfaction.
The modern improved plane-table alidade is a particular specialty,
to which we have given considerable time and attention. This instru-
ment has been constructed by us of aluminum, which has been a per-
fect success, proven by the fact that many have been almost daily
in use for many years, under very trying conditions, without giving
rise to the first complaint. Under the head of Aluminum for Sur-
veying Instruments, this will be again referred to. By a combination
of aluminum and aluminum bronze, the center of gravity of the
alidade may be brought close to the foot of the standard, which is a
very essential point in its construction.
ALUMINUM FOR SURVEYING INSTRUMENTS
A great deal has been said and written about this comparatively
new metal of late, so that its characteristics have become generally
known.
Its color is a dull white, similar to silver, and rather pleasing to the
eye. It embodies many qualities that make it a very valuable material
in the mechanic arts. It is quite soft, but possesses malleability,
tenacity and ductility, so that it may be made into very thin sheets,
or drawn out into fine wire. It is a conductor of heat and electricity.
One of its principal features is that it does not oxydize in the atmos-
phere, and that it does not lose its brightness under conditions that
would tarnish silver and blacken it, for sulphuretted hydrogen or sul-
phide of ammonium do not influence its color. But the greatest ad-
vantage is its remarkable light weight, the specific gravity being only
2.6, or one-fourth of that of silver, and for this particular quality its
use has been sought in the manufacture of articles requiring small
weight, ever since the cost of its production has justified it.
One of the many alloys is the so-called aluminum bronze, which
unites hardness with malleability, and is therefore extensively used
for many purposes. This alloy, however, gains little in lightness
as compared with the ordinary metals.

SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
Since it has been the constant aim to produce field instruments
that shall combine strength with the least practical weight, there could
not have been found a better application for aluminum than in the
instrument-maker's art.
It was necessary to experiment with it in different directions,
particularly as to the proper alloy — it being much too soft in its pure
state — that shall give the required tensile strength and stiffness, make
it workable without fretting, and yet add little to its weight. An alloy
is now made that fully satisfies these conditions.
One of the principal objections urged against it in the manufacture
of surveying instruments is, that on account of extreme lightness they
would not be steady enough in the wind. This firm has built over
iooo transits and levels of aluminum, and, in our opinion, they are
quite as rigid as any other, if properly constructed, care being taken
to adhere to the old material in such details where it cannot be dis-
pensed with. We have found that the stability of an instrument
depends more particularly upon the construction of its lower parts.
If the combination of base-plate and leveling apparatus be made so
that the instrument can be rigidly held, the center of gravity may be
brought down lower, and that in itself would tend to increase its
stability.
Aluminum transits are made by the A. Lietz Company in three
sizes, being complete field instruments with every accessory. The
large transit weighs 10 pounds, and the smaller one A]A pounds, which
reduces the weight by 40%. The construction is precisely the same as
in the instruments already described.
The base-plate is of composition metal, the inner center of the
hardest bell metal, and the outer center of bronze. The leveling screws
are also of composition, as well as the telescope axis.
These transits may either be left in the beautiful natural color of
the metal, or other shades may be applied. The standards are
"Torchon" finished.
The Licts Telescopic Solar Attachment is now made of aluminum,
which can only be an improvement in any direction, whether its weight
be added to the top of a transit made of the red metal, or to one of
the new metal. Lightness in the solar attachment is a very desirable
feature, and that may be easily obtained now.
In the Y-level the base-plate and leveling screws and center are
of composition metal ; the collars, the hardest bell metal ; and the rest,
aluminum. It has an 18-inch telescope, its weight being 6l/2 pounds.
Page 38

SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
We also manufacture a plane-table alidade of aluminum, with a
ruler of aluminum bronze. This instrument, although of the same
weight as one of the ordinary metal of the same size, possesses the
particular advantage of having its center of gravity as low as it can
possibly be brought to the table, and that when placed upon the board
it will be absolutely stable, and will not be influenced by the wind,
which causes the ordinary alidade to tremble and travel on the paper.
And this is the reason why we should object very strongly to an
aluminum rule in a plane-table alidade. This part of the alidade
should be of heavy material, as well as the lower part of the standard,
while the rest may be constructed as lightly as possible. In this case
little or nothing may be gained in the weight, but very much is gained
in stability, when compared with an instrument made of one metal
throughout. Under no condition should the rule, which is the base
of the structure, be made of a light material.
Twenty-six years of experience in the construction of aluminum
surveying instruments finds us ready to advocate the judicious use of
this material. We have applied it in transits and levels, and have
accomplished a saving in weight of about 40 per cent. Great care is
exercised in the proper distribution of the metal. We have already
stated that in a transit aluminum is never used in the construction of
the base-plate, centers, leveling screws, telescope axes and all minor
parts having threads. The principal horizontal members, the plates,
are of aluminum, strongly ribbed.
Much has been written about its high coefficient of expansion,
and particular stress has been laid upon the effect of unequal expansion
necessarily induced by the use of different metals. If this matter be
considered for one moment, however, it will soon be seen that practi-
cally there can be no serious result from this source. In the first
place, the difference between the coefficients of brass and aluminum
is altogether too small* that the effect of any possible distortion in
material judiciously placed need necessarily be feared. Glass plays
a very important part in the make-up of a transit. The coefficient of
expansion in glass is very low (0.8 mm. per meter, raised 100° C)
and a metal best adapted for our purpose would be one having the
same coefficient. Now, as far as brass and aluminum are concerned,
it is readily seen that there is practically no difference in them when
compared with glass. As long as glass is used, one may as well
employ aluminum as brass for the constructive parts, for while the
* Physical laboratories have established the following: For brass 1.88 mm. per meter of
length, raised in temperature 100° C; for aluminum 2.34. Our deductions are made from these
data.
Page 39
TUT? A T TPT7 POA/TPAMV modern engineers' and

SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
expansion of the latter exceeds that of glass 0.000072 inches per linear
foot for i° Fahrenheit, that of the former does so only by 0.000103.
Unequal expansion, therefore, is not a source of error that need
reasonably be feared.
The more vital objection to a light instrument — its greater un-
steadiness in the wind when compared with a heavier make — is some-
thing we have already referred to. We have made and sold over 1000
aluminum transits and levels, and every one has been a proof of our
statement made twenty years ago : that the stability depends more
upon the construction of its base and connection with the tripod than
it does upon the weight of what may be called its superstructure —
the part above the leveling head.
It may also be mentioned incidentally that a fall will injure an
aluminum instrument less than if made of red metal. Not only is this
theoretically correct, but our actual experience in this line has proven
to us the fact that from ordinary accidents the lighter instruments
are always less seriously injured than the heavier ones.
The testimonials from our customers will show the public that the
aluminum instruments made by our firm have given the fullest satis-
faction, and have not disappointed our expectations.
We are firmly convinced of the adaptability of aluminum for sur-
veying instruments, and for that reason our firm has gone extensively
into that branch of manufacture, for which every facility has been
added' recently to the capacities of the shop. The aluminum instru-
ment is forty per cent, lighter than the other, is just as strong, is just
as precise in its workings, possesses every requisite detail of a com-
plete field instrument, and, we claim, is just as stable. Those of the
engineering fraternity who have to carry the transit all day, the mining
and railway men, who climb the mountain sides during the long sum-
mer days from early until dark, will not be long in finding out these
advantages and in putting them to a severe test in every direction.
After manufacturing aluminum instruments for twenty-six years we
have had no occasion to regret it, and find constant encouragement
from the best professional men.
CARE OF INSTRUMENTS
The greatest source of danger to a delicate instrument is careless
handling. It is often subjected to violent usages for which there is
absolutely no need. The rude way of manipulating its delicate parts;
the unnecessary display of digital strength in operating a clamp; the
useless strain applied to the leveling screws; the careless manner of
Page 40
f&fl&^hf THE A. LIETZ COMPANY
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
carrying it; the rough method of taking; it out of its case, or replacing
it : and the incautious closing of a lid or door of a box by force, before
the instrument is somewhat adjusted to its position ; all these are
sources of danger that vitiate its adjustments and cause no end of
trouble and expense. Although a well-made instrument is so designed
as to stand many a shock without direct injury, any daily repeated
abuse is sure to have its ill effect, from which your work must suffer.
As the usefulness of a transit or level may be preserved for many
years by a little attention to details, we shall enumerate a few of the
principal points which the engineer will do well to observe.
Always protect your instrument from rain by throwing over it
a waterproof bag; and if it gets wet at all, clean it thoroughly after
getting under shelter. It is not well to enter a hot room from the
cold air, without giving it some protection. The condensing vapor
settling on the metal and glasses is certain to give rise to injuries.
It is always safe to place the instrument in its case before going into
a warm room in winter. It is not well to leave your transit or level
exposed for hours to the hot sun. Shade must be given either by a
hood thrown over the instrument, or by an umbrella.
But accidents are liable to happen, and for that reason we have
noted down a few remedies in case of an emergency.
The general tendency in the use of the screws is to overstrain
them. This should never be done, especially with the cross-wire
screws, which, when brought up too tight, are liable to constant change
and loss of adjustment. The leveling and clamp screws, if over-
strained, wear out sooner and may show fretting. If this takes place,
they should be taken out and brushed with a little coal oil or benzine.
The nuts are best cleaned by screwing a flat piece of soft wood through
their apertures. In putting them together oil them slightly.
Fretting of the centers and of the telescope-slide will interfere
more with a correct working of the instrument than any other part out
of order. They should be watched, therefore, very closely, and as soon
as any rough motion manifests itself, it should be remedied at once,
if possible, by an instrument maker. If this cannot be had, and the
fretting is in the slide, first scrape and then burnish down the place
where it frets. It may also be ground slightly with oil and very fine
pumice stone dust, which is best obtained by rubbing two pieces on
each other. After grinding then a little, the tubes should be cleaned
and placed together again with oil only; then move them in and out
a number of times, wipe the oil off, and finally put them together
Page 41
THE A. LIETZ COMPANY g?^oR¥S1i£Mg
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
when dry. Should the fretting occur in the centers (if properly made
and constructed, so that they do not come apart in detaching the
instrument from the tripod, this will never happen), employ the same
means; and if this be not effective, place a washer, made of paper or
a thin card, between the shoulders. This will cause a shake, making
accuracy impossible, and will introduce errors of parallax in reading
off, which is better, however, than to destroy the centers wholly. The
best unguent for them is very fine watch oil. Regarding our centers,
we are fully prepared to assure our customers that no fretting will
ever happen, as they are never exposed, and made with the utmost
care.
The object-slide should not be oiled. Never, under any condition,
use emery in trying to repair an instrument, as it cannot be removed
again and will grind continually.
An efficient lubricant for leveling screws, clamps, pinions, etc., is
well-rendered marrow.
If an instrument is upset, thereby bending centers and plates,
do not turn it unnecessarily, as this will disfigure the graduation, but
send it to a competent instrument maker immediately. There should
be no delay in repairing defects.
In the matter of the tripod, it is wise to look to the screws that
hold the legs frequently, and to keep them well tightened up ; and to
inspect the shoes, to see that they do not come loose. An instrument
cannot be steady if there is any shake in the tripod, which is its sup-
port and must be firm in every particular.
The graduation is a very delicate detail to handle, and should be
approached only with the utmost care. It is safe to leave this part-
to the instrument maker, and not to attempt to remove the plates, as
they cannot be properly recentered without the aid of a testing
apparatus. An exposed graduation may be cleaned with a little watch
oil and a chamois skin, taking care not to touch the edges while this
is done.
To preserve the sensitiveness of the needle, the center pin must
be prevented from becoming dull. The instrument should never be
lifted without raising and arresting the needle, and if, upon letting
it down again, the swing is too large, gently stop it when within a
few degrees of its natural bearing. Every check and start must be
made gently, never abruptly. Should the point become dull, it is best
to send it to an instrument maker ; if this be not practicable, a watch-
maker may perhaps attend to it. It should be remembered, however,
Page 42
SURVEYORS' lXSTKIM I IE A. LIETZ COMPANY
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
that the point of poise must be centered — that is, occupy the center of
the graduated circle. This cannot be done by a watchmaker, and is
only to be relied upon if made in an instrument maker's shop.
If a needle is made of good steel, well hardened and properly
charged, it will not often lose its magnetism; and if, when placed
away, it is always brought to line in the meridian, it will retain, or
even increase is polarity. If a needle has lost its magnetism it may
be charged again with an ordinary horseshoe magnet ; one of three
inches in length will be suitable for this purpose. The operation is
this : hold the magnet with the poles upward, then, with a gentle pres-
sure, pass each pole of the needle from center to extremity over the
opposite pole of the magnet, describing before each pass a circle with
a diameter of about double the length of the needle, taking care not
to return it in a path near the pole. If the magnet is strong enough,
the needle need not be taken out at all, but by raising it against the
glass and then passing the magnet over this, it will be charged suffi-
ciently. After charging, the needle has lost its balance, which may
be easily restored by shifting the balance wire on the south end.
The observer should always satisfy himself that there be nothing
about his clothing, especially in the make of the buttons, that would
have any influence upon the needle.
In the matter of the telescope, intelligent handling will do much
towards preserving its accuracy and reliability for a long time. In
cleaning any of the lenses, use a soft rag or chamois leather. If the
glasses should become greasy, or very dirty, wash them with alcohol.
The inner faces will seldom require cleaning, and it is not advisable
to take the telescope apart too often, as it is likely to destroy
its adjustment. If dust should settle on the cross-hairs, it is safest
not to touch them. The only remedy that may be tried is to take out
both the object-glass and the eye-piece, and to blow gently through the
tube. This may remove the dust without injuring the threads, but it is
quite a delicate operation.
Cross-hairs may be replaced in the field by the engineer. The
spider web is cleansed from dirt by placing it in water for a few
minutes. A little manipulation readily removes any particle that may
adhere to the thread. After drying for a moment, adjust it to the
diaphragm, previously cleaned from dust, and attach it by means of
a little shellac. It requires considerable practice to do this nicely,
for a spider's web, although quite strong, cannot be handled by clumsy
fingers without parting; but in the case of an emergency the engineer
must try to do the best under all circumstances.

INSTRUMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
Referring again to the lenses, it is well to remember that in taking
them apart, the centering is disturbed, and the engineer is not able to
replace them properly, especially if they fit loosely in the cell, which
is very often the case. The staining of flint-glass lenses is caused by
the corrosion of the oxide of lead contained in the glass. This will
generally occur when the lens is kept in a damp place for some time.
In cleaning an object-glass, care should be taken not to rub it any
more than necessary. Brush off the dust first with a camel-hair brush,
and then wipe it carefully with a clean piece of chamois leather. If
very dirty, wash it with alcohol or water and soft chalk, being careful
to have the latter free from grit.
Considering that, in cleaning, each rub will destroy more or less
of the fine finish of the lens, upon which depends the brightness and
brilliancy of the image, the surveyor will be well repaid for his care
in this particular.
Similar attention must be bestowed upon the eye-piece. With our
high power eye-pieces, a motion of only three-sixteenths of an inch is
necessary to allow for difference in eyes. As the sliding motion is for
this purpose alone, it is not at all necessary to disturb it after it has
once been properly adjusted, as long as the same person is using the
instrument; even in packing it away in the case the eye-piece may be
left so, as this extra extension is allowed for in the box. The cap is
provided with a slide to protect the eye-lens from dust while the
instrument is not in use ; the engineer should never neglect to close
this, and to cover the object-glass with its cap as well, as soon as
the instrument is set at rest.
Repairs.*
We are fully prepared to make careful repairs to all instruments,
from the graduation of an arc or circle, and the straightening of a
center or plate, to the setting of a simple screw. In this particular
branch we have operated here for the last thirty-odd years, and have
gained the fullest confidence of our people. We need only state here
that we guarantee satisfaction to our customers in every way.
As we are located in California, separated by the breadth of the
continent from our Eastern colleagues, we are necessarily required to
repair instruments of almost every known make, and this has com-
pelled us to procure the various requisites in the workshop for all
* Experience has taught us that it is not wise to allow an ordinary mechanic to attempt
instrumental repairs, as frequently resorted to in inland towns. It is always the case that
this proves ruinous to the instrument, and subsequent repairs will be more extensive and
expensive than if it had been shipped to the instrument-maker at once. Express charges
are of far less importance, and may be made very reasonable. See notice in front of
this manual.

emergencies. Today we are in the position to renew any part of an
instrument, no matter where it was originally manufactured. Time and
money will be saved by sending directly to us, and we shall try to give
our customers every satisfaction. Whatever is entrusted to us will
be thoroughly overhauled and put in the best possible condition, unless
specified orders are received to confine the repairs to certain details.
As a general thing it ought to be left to our judgment as to what the
instrument requires ; it may cost a little more if you follow our advice
in this particular, but it will certainly be more satisfactory in the end.
It will save time, trouble and additional expense. In the course of our
examination of an instrument needing repairs, we discover defects that
could not be apparent to any one before its parts were separated and
individually tested. What may appear of no consequence, and is there-
fore neglected, is quite likely to lead to all sorts of subsequent inaccu-
racies in your work. Years of experience in this particular line have
taught us the advisability of urging this point upon our patrons.
Considerable correspondence is had from inquiries about the cost
of repairs. Although it is impossible to state the exact figures before
an examination, there are certain rates for ordinary repairing that we
may mention here.
The most expensive instrument in this regard is the transit, being
the most complicated in parts. If injured by a fall, new centers and
a new telescope axis is generally required, the cost varying from $10
to $50, reaching, sometimes, much higher. If slightly injured it will
vary from $5 to $15.
Injuries sustained by leveling instruments are generally less
serious. A new level vial costs from $2 to $7.50, according to size
and sensitiveness. Instruments defective in construction or workman-
ship will not require a sensitive level, as that would be a source of
constant annoyance to the engineer ; the bubble should be chosen to
harmonize with the general qualities. As a rule, we attach to the
better class of instrument a level that shall give for each inch of motion
of the bubble an angle of two minutes ; to the inferior grade, one of
three or four minutes.
Compasses sent to us are generally injured by the dulling of the
center pin. Sometimes the plates and sights are bent and the glass
broken. Often the center cap is worn out, and a new one is required.
The cost of repairing ranges from $2 to $8, and even as high as $10.
A new needle, having the largest breadth in a vertical direction, which
Page 45
rPTJT> A T TT7rT'7 PrtMDAMV MODERN ENGINEERS' AND
1 rlJjj rv. JUlrLlZ/ ^Wlvl.r.r\-LM I surveyors' instruments
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
is far superior to the flat style, costs $5. A new center pin, 75 cents.
New center cap with jewel, $1.50.
Careful readjustments made under the collimators are charged
for at the rate of $2.50 for each instrument.
Transits and levels should always be accompanied by the leveling
plates ; the tripod and head need not be sent. With compasses the
ball spindle should be sent.
We advise our customers to pack their instruments carefully, when
sending them to us for repairs, as they are liable to material injury
if this precaution be neglected. The space in the box between the
different parts — of the transit particularly — may be filled with soft
paper wads to protect it from jars and blows. It is well to put the
case in an additional box, a little larger in dimensions, in such a man-
ner that the top of the case is plainly visible and its leather strap handy
for carrying. The space between the case and the box may be padded
with shavings, or some •30ft material to take up the shocks. Mark upon
the top of the box in large legible letters :

The name of the sender and his address, together with the value of the

SURVEYORS' INSTRUMENTS
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting an instrument consists in delicately moving to the right
or left, and up or down, certain parts that must be either parallel or
at right-angles to each other. This is done by slightly turning a num-
ber of capstan-headed screws or nuts by means of a small steel rod,
called an adjusting pin. Adjusting the vernier and compass consists
in placing certain points in a straight line ; but as these corrections are
always made by the instrument maker, they do not properly apply to
the subject before us. Verniers, limb and needle, if properly placed
at the outstart, will not need any correction in the ordinary use.
Of the Transit.
i. Adjustment for Parallax. — This is a very essential one,
and must be looked to carefully in every surveying instrument, whether
transit, level or theodolite. It consists in so focusing the eye-piece
that the cross-hairs shall stand out distinctly and well-defined, when
the telescope is directed upon an object in focus. If this is not properly
done the hairs will be dim; they will appear to travel and to seem
unsteady when set on a mark. We know that this has given consid-
erable vexation to the observer, and instruments have been disparag-
ingly condemned for their apparent parallax, when nothing more was
necessary than a slight movement of the eye-tube to focus the hairs
properly. This fact should be well borne in mind. Our eye-pieces are
quite easily moved in or out by a revolving motion, which affords a
very fine and precise adjustment to focus.
Operation. — Direct the telescope so as to have a clear view of the
sky, and then turn the eye-tube by the cap as just described, until the
cross-hairs stand out like two sharp and distinctly drawn black lines.
After a few trials this is accomplished without difficulty. Then try
the telescope upon some object brought into focus and test the clear-
ness of the wires. A point now bisected must stay so while the eye
is moved laterally in front of the eye-hole. If it remains stationary,
there is no parallax and the adjustment is made. Once properly set,
the eye-piece may remain for the same observer for all time, and need
not be adjusted from day to day. Attention has already been called
to this point in a previous chapter, where it was noted that the instru-
ment box was made large enough to allow the eye-piece to extend
beyond the tube. (The sun-shade should be put on the telescope first,
and then focused to mean distance to balance it properly.)
2. Plate Levels. — The object is to set the levels at right-angles
Page 47

Ifllj -TV. J-/JU-J 1 Li Kj\j£t\.r j\.XS\ SURVEYORS1 INSTRUMENTS

to the vertical axis of the instrument, so that when the bubbles are
centered the axis is truly vertical.
Operation. — Bring the bubbles to the middle of the tube by means
of the leveling screws, then turn the instrument on its center 180
degrees. If they remain central for any position, they are in adjust-
ment ; if not, they must be elevated or depressed at one end to correct
them. One-half of the required correction is made with the capstan-
headed screws on the vial case, the rest by the leveling screws of the
instrument. Several repetitions of the operation may be required be-
fore attaining accuracy. It is well to have the plate in such a position,
that the levels shall be parallel to a pair of opposing foot screws. If
they are out considerably, it is better to adjust one first, approxi-
mately, and then the other.
3. The Standard Bearings. — The telescope should revolve in
a vertical plane when the instrument is level. One end of the tele-
scope axis must be either raised or lowered until accuracy is reached.
A capstan-headed screw is attached for that purpose.
Operation. — Set the instrument up within about fifty feet of the
wall of a house. Take a well-defined point as high up as possible on
the wall ; clamp and bisect ; then turn down the telescope and put a point
in line as low on the wall as may be conveniently reached. Reverse
the telescope and direct again to the upper mark, if you please ; clamp
and bisect ; turn down to the lower mark, and if it is bisected, the
telescope revolves in a vertical plane and requires no adjustment. If
it does not strike the point absolutely, one-half of the difference is
taken up by the capstan-headed screw, and the adjustment is done.
Several repetitions of the operation may be required. It is not neces-
sary to level the instrument, but it should be brought in such a position
as to admit the bisecting of two well-defined points. Care should be
taken, however, that the observation is made at the intersection of the
cross-wires, and that the instrument is securely clamped.
This adjustment should always be made before that of the cross-
wires, for this reason : that unless points of equal height are taken
in the subsequent adjustment of the vertical hair, it will only then prove
correct, if the telescope revolves in a truly vertical plane. It is, there-
fore, always better to look to this before the cross-hairs are adjusted.
This adjustment may also be made by means of an accurate strid-
ing level, such as manufactured by this Company for use in high-grade
instruments. The transit must be precisely leveled up by the foot-
screws and plate bubbles, after which the striding level is placed across
Page 48
SURVEYORS' 1NSTRUM1 I I IE A. LIETZ COMPANY
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
the telescope, resting upon its axis. It is evident that the bubble will
indicate any deficiency in the horizontal parallelism of this axis, and,
therefore, any error in the true vertical motion of the telescope, which
may be corrected until the bubble of the striding level remains centered.
4. The Cross-wires. — The line of collimation should be at right-
angles to the axis upon which the telescope revolves.
Assuming that all the required conditions have been fulfilled by
the instrument maker — having placed the telescope in the center of the
instrument, and having the tubes perfectly straight and normal to the
telescope axis, which are necessary instrumental requirements, there
are two methods that may be employed. One is by means of back and
fore-sights, which is that generally used ; the other consists of a test
by means of three points in a range, where the middle one is occupied.
Preceding either method the hair should be made truly vertical, so
that either the upper or lower end will bisect a point when the tele-
scope is moved up and down. This is easily done by loosening the
diaphragm and turning it slightly in the required direction. To accom-
plish this the instrument must be leveled up.
Operation, First Method. — Occupying a point, direct the telescope
to some well-defined mark, about four hundred or five hundred feet
distant ; clamp and bisect it ; then revolve the telescope and place a
point in the opposite direction at about the same distance. Now un-
clamp and turn the instrument half-way around ; set the hair again on
the first point, revolve the telescope and sight to the second point.
If the intersection bisects the latter, the vertical hair is in adjustment.
If not, the error can be corrected by the capstan-headed screws, which
afford a lateral motion of the diaphragm. With them the vertical
thread should be moved one-fourth of the space intercepted between
the direction of the telescope and the direction of the second point.
Several repetitions may be necessary to obtain accuracy.
The reason why only one-fourth of the space should be corrected
for, becomes evident from the fact that in the first revolution of the
telescope the error of the hair is doubled ; and after reversing the
instrument and revolving the second time, it is again doubled, but on
the opposite side, so that the true direction lies exactly half way be-
tween the two, and to correct for it we must move the hair one-half
the space between the true line and one of the points.
It is not necessary to level the instrument in order to make this
adjustment ; but in case it is not leveled up, the observations must be
made exactly at the intersection of the cross-wires.

SURVEYORS' INSTRUMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
It must be remembered that the image at the cross-hairs is in-
verted, and that in consequence the screws must be moved in appar-
ently wrong directions.
If there is any lost motion in the tangent screw, great care should
be exercised in handling the telescope, so as not to influence its align-
ment.
Operation, Second Method. — Locate with the telescope three
points in one direction, which are necessarily in a straight line, as long
as the vertical movement of the telescope is in adjustment. Occupy
the middle point with precision, and bisect one of the end points ;
revolve the telescope and sight at the other end point. If this is bi-
sected, the instrument is in adjustment ; if not, correct for it by taking
up one-half the error. This method requires leveling of the instru-
ment.
Thus far we have been speaking of the vertical hair only, as it is
the more important in a transit telescope. In a plain transit — that is,
one without a telescope level and without a vertical arc — the horizontal
thread simply serves to define the middle of the vertical one, so that
the observation may always be confined to a particular point in the
latter. But if a level is attached to the telescope, then the horizontal
hair should be brought into the optical axis, before the level is set
parallel to the line of collimation; otherwise, though adjusted for long
distances, it will fail to be correct for short sights.
Operation. — Set up the instrument near a house or fence and level
up carefully. Clamp the telescope, and by means of its tangent screw
bisect a point several hundred feet distant; then turn on center and
mark a point on the house or fence, about ten feet distant. Now un-
clamp telescope, reverse it, revolve on center, and again bisect the near-
est point. Turn instrument on center and see whether the hair inter-
sects the further point. If it does not, the correction must be made,
by lifting or lowering the diaphragm by means of the upper and
lower capstan-headed screws, until the bisections, after repeated trials,
will coincide.
5. The Telescope Level. — The object of this adjustment is to
make the level parallel with the line of collimation. The principle
underlying the method is : that points taken with the same angle of
elevation or depression, and equally distant from the instrument, are
of equal height.
Operation. — Set up on a nearly flat surface and level carefully.
On opposite sides, at equal distances, drive two stakes giving the same
Page SO
^^£^1^;^ THE A. LIETZ COMPANY
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
level-rod reading, with the telescope bubble centered in each instance.
These points are necessarily on a level with each other. Now move the
instrument to a point in line with both, and about ten feet distant from
one. Level up again. Take a rod reading on the nearer and then on
the further stake. If they agree, the level is in adjustment; if not,
move the telescope with its tangent screw over nearly the whole error,
and sight again at the nearer stake and then at the further, repeating
this until the readings are the same on both, when the telescope is truly
horizontal. Now bring the bubble in the center of the tube by the
correcting screws of the level, and the adjustment is completed.
This adjustment may also be made in a room with the aid of a
surveyor's level, with absolute accuracy.
Operation. — A few feet (one or more) from each other set up
the transit and level, each directed to the other. The cross-hairs of
the level must be illuminated by a light, so that they shall become
plainly and clearly visible through the transit. For this purpose cover
the eye-end of the level with a bit of white paper and place a lamp
behind it. Focusing both instruments properly will make the hairs
appear very distinctly. Now, if both instruments are properly colli-
mated, the level carefully leveled up, and the transit telescope of such
height that we may view the interior of the level's tube, we are ready
to adjust the transit telescope to a level plane, which is done by simply
placing the intersection of its cross-hairs delicately over the intersec-
tion of the level's cross-hairs. All that is required after that, is to
center the transit's level bubble by means of the proper adjusting
screws.
This method recommends itself on account of its extreme sim-
plicity.
6. Zero of Vertical Arc. — This adjustment, once made by the
instrument maker, is seldom vitiated. The object is to have the zero
line of the circle agree with the zero mark of its vernier, when the
level of the telescope indicates a horizontal position, and when the
centers of the instrument are truly vertical.
Operation. — The instrument must be carefully leveled by the
small plate bubbles, and then the telescope by means of its level. This
accurately accomplished, the vernier is shifted until the zero lines
coincide. This must be carefully done, so that the instrument is not
disturbed, and, when the vernier is fastened, care must be taken to
allow a space that shall neither be too small nor too great between it
and the vertical circle. In the first case it would bind under certain
Page 51

SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
conditions of temperature, and in the latter the observer would not be
able to obtain an accurate reading. The coincidence of the zero-lines
must be made with a magnifying glass, and all parallax avoided.
7. Centering the Field of View. — On some transit telescopes
there will be found another set of four capstan-headed screws, exactly
alike to that which regulates the cross-hair diaphragm, and placed in
a position quite close to it. These screws are for the purpose of direct-
ing the tube of the eye-piece in such a manner that the field of view
may be divided by the cross-wires into four uniform quadrants; that
is, they enable the operator to so adjust his field that it may be bisected
horizontally and vertically by the threads. In the Lietz transits this
adjustment has been omitted, for the reason that the tubes are made
of such length and with such care — being absolutely straight — that
there is no need of displacing the field, after the line of collimation
has been made to agree with the optical center, and the hairs are
properly adjusted. The lines can never appear noticeably out of the
field in our transits, and any additional movement in the parts of the
telescope would neither be useful nor desirable. A first-class transit
instrument can dispense with this arrangement altogether, and for
this reason it is not usually found there. With an extra long telescope,
however, there would be a slight advantage in being able to direct the
field of view, for a possible fall of the instrument may so injure the
tube that it could not be made absolutely straight again afterwards,
and in consideration of this, we have adopted this correction only in
the case of the 18-inch Y-level, which is the most liable to be damaged
in that way. It alone possesses two sets of capstan-headed screws near
the eye-end of the telescope — one for the adjustment of the cross-hairs,
and the other for shifting the field of view so that it shall appear equally
divided by them.
Of the Y-Level.
There are three principal adjustments. The spirit level must be
parallel to the axis of collimation ; it must be at right-angles to the
vertical axis of the instrument; the axis of collimation must agree
with the optical axis.
There are other instrumental requirements which belong to the
instrument maker, however, and it is with the above three adjustments
only that the surveyor has to deal, as they are likely to become dis-
turbed in time.
Before examining the adjustments, the sun-shade should be placed
on the telescope, as it is only accurately in balance with this.

1ST Adjustment. — To set the spirit level parallel to the line of
collimation, and, at the same time, place its axis in a plane with that
of the telescope. It is best to attend to the latter first.
Operation. — Turn the telescope so as to stand over two opposing
foot-screws, clamp the instrument and bring the bubble to the center
of the tube ; then rotate the telescope in its Ys, so as to put the level
considerably out of a vertical — say about 15 or 20 degrees. If the
bubble changes its position, it shows that the axis is not in a plane
with that of the telescope. Correct it by moving the two side screws
of the level case, until one-half of the deviation has been taken up.
A few repetitions will insure accuracy, and destroy the side motion
of the level.
The level must now be made parallel with the line of the bottom
of the collars.
Operation. — Bring the bubble to the center of the tube; then
reverse the telescope in the Ys end for end ; do this carefully. The
displacement of the bubble, if there be any, is the double error, which
is corrected by taking up one-half of it by means of the adjusting nuts
on the level case, and the other half with the leveling screws of the
instrument. This operation is repeated until the bubble remains in the
center.
To accomplish a proper adjustment of the level to the line of colli-
mation, it becomes absolutely necessary that the collars be of equal
diameter. We have already referred to the importance of even collar
dimensions, and have laid great weight upon this requisite; and here
again we shall point out the errors to which a neglect therein may lead.
A Y-level in such an event is not any better than a dumpy, and will
have to be adjusted as such.
Providing the Ys are filed out to the same absolute angle, the
instrument may still be adjustable in all its parts : — the spirit level may
be made parallel to the line of the bottom of the collars ; the Ys may
be so adjusted that the bubble will remain in the center of the tube;
the line of collimation may be brought to the center of revolution of
the telescope ; and this reversed end for end in the Ys, leaving the
bubble in the middle, even if there be some difference in the diameter
of the collars. It is the general opinion that after level, Ys and cross-
wires are adjusted, the instrument must be correct. This is by no
means certain, as the least difference in the size of the collars will
throw out the line of collimation considerably. This difference is some-
times found in new instruments, and is also produced by unequal wear,

denting, etc. It is therefore advisable that the equality of the collars
should be tested from time to time, which is done by a method given
further on.
2D Adjustment. — To piace the level at right-angles to the vertical
axis of the instrument.
Operation. — Turn the instrument so that the telescope shall stand
over the line of two opposing leveling screws, and bring the bubble
to the center of the tube; then turn the instrument 180 degrees on its
center. If the bubble shows any displacement, correct one-half of it
by means of the nuts under the bar at the Y supports, and one-half by
the foot-screws. Several trials will make the correction perfect.
3D Adjustment. — To place the cross-web in the optical axis of
the telescope, so that the intersection will remain on an object in
revolving it.
Operation. — Set the intersection of the hairs on a point about two
hundred or three hundred feet distant, then revolve the telescope in
its Ys half-way, so as to have the level case on top. If the wires have
moved from the point, bring them back one-half of the amount of the
displacement. Try again, and repeat the operation if necessary.
The eye-piece may then be properly aligned and directed by the
four black capstan-headed screws (nearest the eye-end of the tele-
scope), so that the field of view shall appear evenly divided by the
cross-hairs, as already explained.
In this, as well as in any other telescope, we assume that the tubes
are straight, the object-glass well centered, and the slide well fitted.
If such be not the case, the telescope can only be adjusted for certain
distances. It is urged by some makers that it is almost impossible
to produce straight tubes, and that, therefore, the object-slide must
be adjustable. This, however, is entirely erroneous. Perfectly straight
tubes can be made, if the necessary time and money be expended, which
is the only requisite. In a great many instruments sold today, you will
find that the object-glass is not centered, that the slide is poorly fitted,
and that all these inaccuracies, which are not apparent at a glance,
prove more injurious than ever if the tubes are not quite straight. It
must also seem clear to any one that the constant working of the slide
in an adjustable ring would loosen the screws and cause considerable
annoyance.
Parallax is adjusted by moving the eye-piece in or out until a
clear and distinct view of the cross-hairs is obtained, as in the case of
the transit already described.
Page 54

SAN FRANCISCO, U.S.A.
The Collar Tkst. — After the instrument is properly adjusted,
the equality of the collars may be ascertained in the following- manner:
Operation. — Make two bench-marks, place the instrument exactly
midway between them, and find their true difference of level by reading
leveling rods set upon them. Now place the instrument near one of
the bench-marks and read the rods again. If the difference of the
reading is equal to the true difference of level, the collars are of equal
diameter, and the line of collimation is at right-angles to the vertical
axis of the instrument. This test, once made, holds good ever after,
as it shows that the collars are true, and consequently that a correct
adjustment is assured of all its other parts, as already described. But
it need hardly be mentioned that denting, the settling of sand particles
and unequal wear will also affect the adjustment in the same manner.
If the test shows that the line of collimation is not perpendicular
to the line of the vertical center, then the collars are of unequal diame-
ter, and the instrument is really nothing more or less than a dumpy
level, as this defect deprives it of all the advantages for an easy and
convenient adjustment, which characterizes the Y-level in comparison
with the dumpy.
This defect may, however, be temporarily remedied or adjusted
in the same manner as the line of collimation in the dumpy level is
adjusted, but it must ever thereafter remain permanently in its Ys,
as it would, if reversed end for end, double the error which existed
previous to this adjustment.
The correction may also be made by displacing the horizontal
cross-hair to the extent that the line of collimation shall be truly hori-
zontal and, at the same time, parallel with the axis of the spirit .level ;
but, in that event, there will be no longer any agreement with the optical
axis, which again gives rise to a number of inaccuracies that cannot
be obviated.
A Y-level, in order to deserve that name at all, must have equal
diameters of its collars ; and if that is not found after a crucial test,
the instrument maker should be called upon to remedy this dis-
crepancy.
No doubt can possibly exist in the mind of any engineer of the
absolute necessity of the collar test. Considering the required parallel-
ism of the axis of collimation and the axis of the spirit level, he must
know that a contact can only be made between telescope and Ys by
means of the collars, whose exteriors may either be parts of the surface
of a cylinder, or that of a cone, and that the required parallelism is
Page 55
TTtJT? A T TT7rT'7 I^CW/fV A KTV modern engineers' and
1 rlJZi I\. LylJC/lZ/ l^iWlVlr AIM I SURVEYORS' INSTRUMENTS
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
only possible in the former case. If one collar exceed the other in
diameter, the centered level bubble, if reversed in the Ys, will indicate
a displacement corresponding to four times the angle intercepted be-
tween the collar axis and that of the spirit level. No further demon-
stration of this fact is necessary.
Of the Dumpy Level.
In principle, the same laws govern the requirements of the dumpy
that hold good in .the Y-level. Although its construction differs, the
condition of its line of collimation, optical center and level vial must
be such as to bear that universal relation to each other which we have
fully explained in the other instruments. It is not difficult to make
all the necessary adjustments properly, although it may not appear
quite so handy to correct its errors as in the case of the Y-level.
Once adjusted, however, the instrument will remain so for a long time,
and it will give the operator considerable satisfaction, if used with the
ordinary care.
The adjustments of the level, and the telescope for collimation,
will now be briefly mentioned.
Put on the sun-shade, and focus the eye-piece until the hairs are
distinctly visible and the parallax destroyed ; then proceed as follows :
Operation. — Turn the instrument so that the telescope shall stand
directly over the line of two opposing leveling screws, and draw the
bubble to the middle of the tube by means of the foot-screws. Then
turn the instrument on its center 180 degrees, and if the bubble remain
centered the adjustment is perfect. Any displacement, however, will
have to be corrected by taking up one-half of it with the capstan-headed
screws attached to the level case, and the other half by the foot-screws.
This operation must be repeated several times, in directions normal to
each other — that is, over one set of opposing foot-screws as well as
over the other, until the telescope may be swung in any position and
the bubble will remain in the middle. See that the adjusting screws
of the level vial are firm, yet avoid all unnecessary force in tightening
them; all cramming is injurious, and tends to destroy the proper
degree of refinement required.
After having set the diaphragm so that the cross-hairs shall be
absolutely horizontal and vertical, which is easily done by loosening
the capstan-headed screws and turning the diaphragm slightly, being
guided by some point bisected by the horizontal hair, we now proceed
to adjust the cross-hair, which must be brought into the collimation
line. Several methods are known ; the one which is always available,
Page 56
gS^.S^K^ THE A. LIETZ COMPANY
SAN FRANCISCO, U. s. A
however, is that by means of stakes and level-readings upon them, and
it is to this that we shall confine ourselves here.
Operation. — Choose a piece of ground nearly level, set up the
instrument and center the bubble. Drive a stake (point i) firmly, say
two hundred or three hundred feet from the instrument, in any con-
venient direction therefrom. Hold the level rod upon it and take a
reading. Now point the telescope in the opposite direction, the bubble
being centered, and plant another stake (point 2) at the same distance
from the dumpy, driving it until the rod shall read the same as upon
the first point. These two stakes are on the same level. Now set up
the instrument abount ten or fifteen feet from the first stake, and bring
the bubble to the center; take a rod-reading on point 1, and then on
point 2. If the two readings are alike, with a truly centered bubble,
the hair is collimated. If there is any difference, take up nearly ah
of it by moving the diaphragm with the cross-hairs either up or down,
as already explained. Repeat this operation until the readings on
points 1 and 2 are identical, when the instrument is in adjustment.
The vertical hair is of no particular importance.
With these precautions, a dumpy level may be made absolutely
accurate, and there is no reason why, for any of the land surveyors,
and for nearly all of the engineer's work, this compact and steady
instrument should not meet every requirement. We frequently discuss
its merits with our customers, and have never hesitated to recommend it.
Test of Telescopes in General.
If a telescope is to be tested for its qualities, make sure that all its
lenses are perfectly clean.
To test for definition, use small, clear print, and view it from a
distance of from thirty to fifty feet. If the print appears clear and
well defined, and fully as legible at this distance as if viewed with the
naked eye at the distance of distinct vision, the surfaces of the object-
glass are perfect and well finished. If, on the contrary, the print ap-
pears dull and indistinct, and the finer details illegible, or even invisible,
the surfaces are imperfect and faulty, for the rays proceeding from
the various points of the object are not refracted to their correspond-
ing points in the image.
Indistinctness may be caused by spherical aberration.
To test this, cover the object-glass with a ring of black paper,
reducing the aperture to one-half ; again focus small print to distinct
vision; remove the ring of black paper and cover the center of the
object-glass (previously left open), then mark how much the object-
Page 57
THE A. LIETZ COMPANY ^^o^Sf^
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
glass has to be moved in or out for distinct vision. If the spherical
aberration has been reduced to a minimum, very little, if any, slide mo-
tion is necessary to obtain a distinct view under both tests. The amount
of movement, however, constitutes a measure for the spherical aberra-
tion of the object-glass.
Another test, but not as good as the one just mentioned, is to focus
an object to distinct vision ; then slide the object-glass in or out, observ-
ing at the same time the quantity of motion necessary to render the object
indistinct. If the spherical aberration is completely corrected, the object
should, theoretically, be rendered indistinct by the slightest motion of
the lens ; but, practically, this is not the case, as the eye will accommodate
itself in a measure to the difference of divergence of the rays, caused
by the motion, in or out, of the object-glass, in. the same manner as it
will accommodate itself to near and distant objects when viewing with-
out the aid of lenses. So, if the image formed by a perfect object-glass
is viewed by another perfect lens of long focal length, say six inches,
the object-glass might be moved in or out one-fourth of an inch from
the point of distinct vision, and the object will still appear compara-
tively clear, as the one-fourth-inch motion, with an eye-lens of such
long focal length, cannot cause enough difference in the divergence of
the rays to prevent the accommodation of most eyes to it. The shorter
the focal length of the eye-lens, the more rapid will be the change of
divergence or convergence of the rays with a certain amount of motion ;
therefore, the second test is only applicable with eye-pieces of very
high power, which, at the slightest motion in or out, will cause a
sufficient amount of divergence of the rays to prevent the accommoda-
tion of the eye to the change.
To test the chromatic aberration, either a celestial body or a white
disc should be selected for an object.
Focus the object to distinct vision, thereupon move the object-glass
slowly in and out alternately. If, in the first instance, a light yellow
ring is seen at the edge of the object, and in the second one a ring of
purple light, the object-glass may be considered perfect, as it proves
that the most intense colors of the prismatic spectrum (orange and
blue) are corrected.
To test the flatness of field, take a square, flat object, the sides of
which are about four inches long and perfectly straight — the best object
is a heavily-lined square, drawn on white paper with india ink. Sight
this object from such a distance that it will nearly fill the field of view
of the telescope, and see if it still appears flat and its sides perfectly
Page 58

straight; if so, the telescope is a good one. If, on the contrary, the
object appears distorted, I. c, if the sides, instead of being straight,
form curves and the surfaces appear concave, instead of flat, the tele-
scope is not good, for it shows that the proportions of foci, aperture
and distances between the different lenses are not according to the laws
of optics ; owing, generally, to the attempt to force the magnifying
power beyond its limits.
As all the refractions of light in the telescope are caused by flat
and spherical surfaces, it is evident that the edge of a round flat object,
when used for the above test, cannot be distorted, but that the surface
only will appear concave to a keen observing eye. A telescope which
distorts the image to a perceptible degree will not, however, cause any
errors in common use, if only one point in the lens is taken in all ob-
servations, but it is decidedly objectionable in stadia measurements,
where two points in the field of view are used at the same time.
To Find the Magnifying Power of a Telescope.
A practical method for finding the magnifying power, available to
anyone, which does not require any apparatus, taking up only a few
moments' time, is the following:
Set up the instrument, and about twenty or thirty feet therefrom
hold up a graduated rod. Observe the rod with one eye by direct
vision, and with the other through the telescope. Assume a certain
space on the rod, say the height of a numeral, or two sharply drawn
lines, and count the number of divisions on the rod in that space ; then
observe the number of divisions that are seen by the naked eye in the
same space enlarged. The ratio between the two is the power sought.
It is the reading of a magnified space of known length on the graduated
face of the rod. With a little practice both eyes will be able to distin-
guish the rod divisions at the same time. If what is known to be o.i
of a foot, is enlarged by viewing it through a telescope so as to cover
the space of 2.4 feet as seen by the unaided eye, the magnifying power
is 24 for the distance in focus. The real power is somewhat less, for
as the tube of the telescope is drawn out for near objects, the power
necessarily increases. The magnifying power obtained by this method
holds good for the distance that the rod can be read by the unaided
eye, and it is always somewhat greater than the actual power.
For a very accurate determination of the magnifying power, it is
necessary to ascertain the focal length of the objective and that of the
eye-piece, in order to compare them and to find their proportion. While
the former is easily obtained by a direct measurement from the objective
Page 59
THE A. LIETZ COMPANY ¥8$^o®(i®®g$a®&
SAN FRANCISCO, U. S. A.
lens to the cross-hairs, the latter, usually containing an entire system
of lenses, presents numerous difficulties. For this purpose we possess
an apparatus especially designed for us.
Dividing the focal length of the objective (when the telescope is
focused to mean distance) in millimeters, by the equivalent gives the
magnifying power of the telescope under consideration.
If any of our customers want the focal length of an eye-piece deter-
mined, we shall cheerfully do so, without charge, upon receipt of it,
which should be sent carefully packed.
Adjustments of the Plane-Table Alidade.
Without going again into all the details of instrumental adjust-
ments, it behooves us to enumerate the points required of this instru-
ment when in proper condition. These are:
1st — That the fiducial edge of the rule be absolutely straight;
2d — That all parallax be destroyed, by placing the cross-hairs in
proper focus ;
3d — That the line of collimation move in a vertical plane ;
4th — That this plane be normal to the plane of the ruler ;
5th — That the same plane also intersect the fiducial edge of the
ruler, or at least be parallel thereto ;
6th — That during parallelism of the optical axis and the fiducial
edge, the zeros of the vertical arc and its vernier correspond.
This instrument is used in the topographical departments of the
U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, and the U. S. Geological Survey, and
is exclusively applied in mapping the topographical features of the
country in Europe, usually by officers of the army, who control these
surveys, after the triangulation points have been established.
This method of surveying has been constantly improved in prac-
tice, particularly by the experts of the Geological Survey, and it may
be safely said that, with the required accuracy, nothing surpasses it for
small-scaled work in speed and application. All the bulky parts of the
table have been reduced to a minimum, so that it may be handled with
comparative ease in the roughest mountain country.
We refer our readers to appendix No. 22 of the Coast Survey
Report of 1865, which may be had separately in bound book form, called
The Plane-Table and its Uses, as an excellent theoretical and practical
treatise of this interesting subject. Price $2.00.

INTRODUCTION
The following illustrations show the principal articles we manu-
facture, being, in the case of this section, almost exclusively confined
to instruments required by the civil, mining, irrigation, hydraulic and
military engineer, for making accurate measurements and surveys for
any purpose whatever.
Of the surveying instruments each illustration, or plate, is com-
plete within itself. Every feature is carefully noted, together with the
price and a general description in a condensed form. The additional
accessories that may be had in each instance are also enumerated and
their prices given. It is well, however, that the engineer should con-
sult the preceding part of this Manual, wherein every detail is care-
fully described and extensively discussed. If pains are taken to look
this over, the reader will obtain such information as would be given
him in the salesroom.
Every article has been numbered, and by these numbers our cus-
tomers may order, without going into a minute description of the
articles wanted. For example :
"Send me transit No. 4 (1919), with the following extras "
is all that is required to designate to us exactly what is desired by our
patron.
In ordering please mention the issue of the catalogue, as the num-
bers of preceding issues necessarily conflict.
See also Telegraph Code on pages 66 and 67.
With the detailed information on its succeeding page, every plate
becomes a complete price list of the particular instrument illustrated.
Every effort has been made to make this part of the book as intellig-
Page 64

ible a- possible, without the necessity of searching over numerous
pages to gather information.
Although we shall make any instrument of precision called for,
we desire to state clearly that we have made a particular specialty of
engineers' and surveyors' instruments, because there is for them alone
a demand at the present time, and for this reason our shop facilities
have been especially designed and improved for the manufacture of
these articles.
If instruments for a more scientific purpose are wanted, for astro-
nomical or geodetic work, for instance, we can either make them on a
special order, or we can import them for our customer, having made
arrangements in Europe which enable us to sell such instruments as
cheaply as anyone in the United States. For institutions of learning
we import without payment of duty.
All our products have been priced commensurate with their quality
and deductions are not made from our price list, which agrees favor-
ably in all its quotations with those of the best Eastern firms.
^'e furnish a first-class article at a fair price, and our goods
stand upon their individual merit. It has been our object to create the
best that the instrument maker's art can make or devise, and with the
records of the past decades before us we feel that we have been suc-
cessful in every way.

THE LIETZ PATENT UNIFIER
The "Unifier" is a rigid rod looped in the center to clear the line
of sight, connecting both standards firmly, thereby securing lateral
rigidity and avoiding stress in a degree heretofore unknown. (See cut
with telescope removed.)
The telescope revolves around the "Unifier," and its pivots are
cylindrical, resting in "V" shaped bearings which secure the refine-
ment of motion in a vertical plane necessary for precise work.
Its characteristics insure the greatest stability and permanency of
adjustments with less liability of injury. All the adjustments, as well
as the manipulations, are the same as in other instruments.
This transit has been given practical field tests for several years,
which justifies its recommendation as a very superior article.
This type of instrument was used with marked success and high
satisfaction on the work of the Hetch Hetchy undertaking in Califor-
nia ; also by the Marin Municipal Water District on the tunnel through
Mt. Tamalpais, California. Too much cannot be said of the service-
ability of this type of construction in instruments.

LIETZ TRANSIT THEODOLITES
With U-shaped Standards
Instruments of very superior construction and design. The standards upon which the tele-
scope rests and the upper plate are cast in one U-shaped piece, thus affording far more strength
than the ordinary form.
The telescope is reversible in position, as well as exchangeable in its bearings, which are pro-
vided with dust caps and screws, to give them the proper friction. The telescope is either erect
or inverting. For reasons already set forth (see page 24) the inverting form should be given
the preference. The telescope possesses the finest lenses and optical accessories. It has a slide
protector and is provided with a sun shade. The cross hairs are focused by a screw motion of the
eye-piece.

LIETZ MOUNTAIN AND MINING TRANSITS
"ALUMINUM"
The illustrations on pages 84 and 88 represent our Mountain and
Mining Transits Nos. 9 and 12. While with the introduction of our
special aluminum alloy we have been the producers of the lightest in-
struments for years, yet some of our patrons have expressed a desire
to possess an instrument of smaller size, admitting of easier transpor-
tation in mountainous country. These transits are made with as much
care as our larger instruments ; the constructive details are similar,
and full reliance may be placed upon the instruments as to the per-
formance of their working parts in every respect. We would espe-
cially recommend our friends to order these instruments in our special
aluminum alloy, which not only makes them lighter, but adds consider-
ably to the rigidity, lateral strength, and to their steadiness. This
statement is made and based upon our experience gained in over
twenty years, during which time we have manufactured more than
one thousand instruments of our special aluminum alloy, and it is veri-
fied by authorities who constantly use them. At first thought the state-
ment may seem paradoxical that an instrument made of lighter mate-
rial should be steadier than one made of heavier metals, and we are
constantly confronted with queries from engineers, when we recom-
mend instruments of the lighter type, whether these will prove steady
enough in the wind. It seems that the ordinary opinion is not based
upon practical experience but created by the reasonable assumption
that heavier weight will offer more resistance to disturbing influences
than light weight.
While it cannot be denied that the weight of an instrument adds
to its steadiness, it must be borne in mind that instruments have not
been made of the older metals in order to gain steadiness, but simply
because this was the best material available for the purpose. Wear and
resistance in case of accident were the principal features sought. A
light material, provided it has these qualities, offers the best oppor-
tunity to produce the most rigid instrument, for the reason that it ad-
mits of lowering the center of gravity by a judicious distribution of
the metals, and this is what we have aimed at and believe we have
fully accomplished in our aluminum alloy instruments. These instru-
ments are rigid and firm ; they offer more resistance in case of a fall
than the heavier metals ; the wearing qualities are such that no bush-
ing is required ; the coefficient of expansion and contraction is elim-
inated, so that their adjustments will remain constant under severe
conditions. Their qualities during the last twenty years have been so
thoroughly tested that we conscientiously recommend them to the
profession.
It must be apparent that there cannot be any great difference in
price between a large and a small sized instrument. The workmanship
in each is alike, and, if anything, more complicated and costly in the
Page 36
THE A. LIETZ COMPANY

LIETZ RECONNAISSANCE TRANSIT No. 12
In Case
smaller. The only difference is in the quantity of metal used, but, as
this cannot possibly amount to much in price, it is more than compen-
sated for by the additional care required in handling the smaller parts.
This explanation would hardly seem necessary, were it not for the
prevailing impression that all merchantable articles of the same kind
shall be rated by their respective sizes. That this cannot obtain in the
case of instruments must stand to reason. The price of a transit can
only be reduced by omitting certain features, or by changing it to a
simpler construction.

LIETZ BUILDERS' LEVELS Nos. 21 to 21 BC
As made by ns for the use of architects, builders, contractors, and for
general engineering work not requiring the highest degree of accuracy, the
instrument is constructed along the same lines as our No. 20 Precision
Dumpy Level, and therefore not liable to get out of order, an important
feature, because instruments of this kind occasionally have to be intrusted
to men whose duties will not admit of the greatest amount of care. The
instrument is far superior to the so-called architects' level, which is built on
the principle t>f the Y-level, and in which novelties are usually embodied to
attract the buyer and which tend to make instruments complicated and un-
reliable, difficult to manipulate, and which usually decrease their strength
considerably. Our instrument No. 21 is built for the special purpose of ob-
taining the simplest form of an accurate and reliable tool and is offered to
the profession as an instrument of efficiency at a very moderate price.

LIETZ PRELIMINARY TRANSIT No. 22
For many purposes where great accuracy is not required, it is often
far more convenient to use some small instrument which will admit of
measurements within practical limits. The irrigator, farmer, ditcher,
grader, building contractor, gardener, forester, road builder, etc., often
require means of obtaining heights and relative positions, for which
higher grade instruments would be unnecessarily refined.
It is for such purposes that we have constructed the Lietz Pre-
liminary Transit. This combines portability with accuracy and relia-
bility, within a reasonable limit, at a minimum expenditure. In appear-
ance it is identical to an engineer's transit. It possesses four leveling
screws, but no shifting center. The lower axis moves in the star piece
which carries the four leveling screws. It is readily clamped in any
position by means of clamp and tangent screws. The second spindle
carries the top plate, together with- the standards and telescope. The
compass is centrally located, and has a diameter of three inches. The
plate is graduated in the regular way, and this graduation is utilized
for reading horizontal angles by means of a vernier to two minutes
of arc. The vertical arc is graduated from 0 degree to 100 degrees
each way, reading to two minutes by a vernier which is clamped readily
into any position on the telescope axis by a milled-head screw, so that
the position of the arc, which is stationary on the standard, admits of
reading any vertical angle, by means of repetition, if over 90. The
telescope is six inches long, has erect lenses, magnifying eight diam-
eters. The telescope possesses a level two and one-half inches in length,
and a tangential movement, so that the instrument represents a com-
plete transit of modern construction, having, of course, a limited de-
gree of accuracy, but capable of carrying out preliminaries where high-
grade instruments would otherwise have to be used. Every feature of
the transit is represented here, and it admits of obtaining results ap-
proaching those of the surveyor's transit and level.
Crude instruments are placed on the market to supply the demand
for a fairly reliable measuring tool of small cost. These are usually
worthless, as they are made without any regard for the underlying
principles that should govern the make of such an article. But with the
Lietz Preliminary Instrument, for which patent has been granted, the
object has been attained. Every part is carefully made and neatly fin-
ished, and its cost is less in comparison than the inferior articles usually
offered for sale in the market.

LIETZ PLANE TABLE OUTFITS
The advantages of the Plane Table for topographic surveying and map-
ping has brought this instrument into very popular favor, especially in our
irrigation districts and oil fields.
A planchette or drawing board is mounted upon a specially constructed
tripod head. The Johnson Movement consists of a socket with a flange to
which the board is fastened. This socket is engaged and held by three
segments in a manner to admit of the orientation of the planchette and also
the clamping of it by means of a large milled head screw.
The Lietz Tangent Head Tripod (page 120) is an improved form. While
it entails the additional investment it is self-evident that its nicety of adjust-
ment and its control of the planchette is a labor-saving feature, it being con-
structed with the clamp and tangent in azimuth and the three screws for
leveling.
We offer several forms or modifications of Alidades.
Our No. 30 represents a type as made for many years to meet the needs
of the topographer, whereas No. 31 exemplifies the very latest form as
adopted by the United States Geological Survey. Its improvement consists,
briefly, of the telescope revolving 180 degrees on its longitudinal axis, thus
admitting of an easy adjustment and control of the line of collimation, and
the graduating of the vertical arc on the periphery for convenience in reading
the angles, and its manner of numbered graduations. With the index of the
vernier at 30 instead of 0 it can readily be understood that all the angles
as read are positive, overcoming thereby almost all possibility of error in
the notes.
Our No. 32 is, again, a modification of our No. 31 and is after the model
adopted by the Geological Department of the Stanford University. Its com-
pactness and resultant portability brought us .to the conclusion that it would,
likewise, be appreciated by the members of the profession. Today they are
in use in many of our States and especially in the oil districts of Oklahoma
and Texas as well as in California.

TRIPODS FOR LIETZ INSTRUMENTS
Made of selected ash, straight grained and well seasoned. Withstand
unusual use.
Our extension tripods are very rigid and strong and move freely under
all conditions of heat and cold. The double clamps employed are of one-
piece cast brass and will not break under ordinary use. We furnish many
tripods equipped with one extension leg, which admits of all the advan-
tages of the extension tripods as regard set-ups, their only disadvantage be-
ing lack of portability.
We call special attention, however, to the greater steadiness and free-
dom from tremor in open windy country of our straight split-leg tripod
No. 38 as furnished with our precision transits. In instruments of high
power and sensitive levels it is the only tripod to be recommended. In use
in cities and country it affords quick set-ups and easy carrying.

of the Godwin type lies principally in that it necessitates the
need of but one tripod, whereas in most other forms two are
necessary.
Illustration "A" shows the outfit in use with the two mirrors,
which are required in order to get the reflected sunlight if the
sun is in the rear of the operator. Illustration "B" shows the
outfit as it is mostly used when the sun can be reflected directly
to the station to be signaled.
Instrument consists of two mirrors, 3%x3% inches, adjust-
able vertically and horizontally by micrometer movements, a
shutter 4%x4% inches, a sighting rod, and one tripod 24 inches
high. Instrument fits neatly in two chamois-lined trays, con-

ANEROID BAROMETERS
In connection with our line of Barometers, Barographs, Thermographs,
etc., we desire to call attention to the importance of selecting such articles.
We aim to carry only the most reputable makes of these instruments.
With our factory facilities ami years oi experience we are in a position
to offer our patrons the accommodation ot' testing eacli individual instru-
ment under pressure and in connection with a standard mercurial barometer.
thus assuring our friends of that satisfaction seldom enjoyed when pur-
chasing through other sources.
DESCRIPTION
The Aneroid, owing to its portable form and great sensitiveness in re-
sponding to changes in pressure of the atmosphere (it will denote a change
much quicker than the Mercurial Barometer), is today in more general use by
observers of meteorological changes than any other form of Barometer.
In measuring altitudes, owing to its portability, sensitiveness and the
ease with which approximate results may be obtained, it is highly valuable
to the Engineer and Surveyor, while the Tourist, with the Aneroid, notes
his gain in elevation foot by foot, as well as plans his excursions in accord-
ance with prognostications from its readings.
The illustration shows the general
construction of the movement with its
elastic metallic box, called the vacuum
chamber.
This chamber is constructed with
two circular discs of thin corrugated
German silver, firmly soldered to-
gether at the edges, forming a close
box. The air is exhausted from this
box which causes the top and bottom
discs to close together.
The vacuum chamber is firmly
fixed to the circular metal base by a
post upon its centre, projecting
through the base plate.
An iron bridge spans the chamber,
resting upon the base plate by means
of the two pointed screws. (These
screws are used to finely regulate the
tension upon the chamber.)
To the bridge is fixed the mainspring, which is forced down by mechan-
ical means sufficient to insert a knife edge piece.
As this knife edge' is fastened (by means of a central pillar) to the top
disc of the chamber the mainspring, when released, lifts the upper part of
the chamber, drawing the two discs apart.
As this forms a perfect balance (the power of the mainspring opposing
the atmospheric pressure upon the vacuum chamber), any variation in air-
pressure will now be shown by a movement up or down of the elastic
chamber. A decrease in pressure will allow the mainspring to overcome
the power of the vacuum, the action then being upwards, and an increase
of air pressure will produce the contrary result.

Each
No. 321, same as No. 320 but 13 inches high, funnel 3 inches in
diameter
The rain collected by tile funnel flows into the receiver, which is of smaller
diameter than the funnel and so adjusted that the readings are magnified 10
times. To take reading insert measuring stick through the funnel into the
receiver and note how high it is moistened. The sticks are graduated in lOths
and lOOths of an inch, one inch of rain actually being 10 inches on the stick.
To measure snow, remove the funnel and receiver and after collecting let it
melt. Then pour into receiver and measure same as rain. Also measure
full depth of snow.

The Self-Registering Rain Gauge has a receiver 8x8 inches. The rain enters
this receiver and is collected in a bucket. When this bucket has received
1 /100th of an inch of rain it tilts over, and the hand registers the fall as
1 /100th of an inch. The tilting of one bucket brings another in position, which
when filled overbalances, registers and brings the first bucket in position again.
One complete revolution of the large hand indicates one inch of rain in
l/100ths, and the smaller dial registers up to 10 inches.

*We desire to call attention to the ball-bearing axis in use in place of pivot bearing as used
in other meters of this type. A longer maintenance of rating is made possible by the ad-
ditional strength and stability of this bearing, being less liable to derangement from knocks
they sometimes receive while in use.

LIETZ WATER REGISTERS
As made by us for the U. S. Department of Agriculture
Lietz Water
Register No. 360
(Galvanized Iron Cover
not shown)
The Lietz Water Register, for auto-
matically recording the rise and fall
of water in reservoirs, lakes, canals,
weirs, etc., was originally designed
and manufactured by us for the
U. S. Department of Agriculture over
twenty years ago, and has found wide
application. Its simplicity of con-
struction, together with efficiency and moderate price, has created its pop-
ularity. We have made improvements from time to time, which have
increased its efficiency, and the Register as made by us today constitutes
the best moderate price device on the market.
The customary ratios which we supply and aim to keep in stock are
1:1, 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10, also a device whereby the pencil movement can be
changed and made to travel over the drum in a period of either 1 or 8 days.
(See Lietz Duplex Time Water Register Nos. 362-363.) Any other ratio,
as well as interchangeable ratios, can also be supplied.
The cut shows the latest improvements, which consist principally of a
remodeled pencil carriage and a water-tight aluminum clock case; the entire
apparatus is enclosed with a galvanized iron cover not shown in the cut.
Write for folder containing Instructions for Installation, also abstract
from paper published in Bulletin of American Society of Civil Engineers,
November, 1910, by J. C. Stevens, describing results obtained.

LIETZ WATER REGISTERS
The Lietz Water Registers arc so constructed that the pencil is released
by the clock and drawn across the drum by a small weight, which works
in unison with the clockworks. The drum is controlled by the float which
rests on the surface of the water. This type of construction is a great
advantage over the old style, wherein the drum is revolved by the clock-
work, inasmuch as it relieves the clockwork of the extra labor of turning
the drum, thus assuring greater accuracy of time and also, in case of an
extraordinary rise or fall of the water (greater than the capacity of the
record sheet), the Lietz Water Register will simply make two or more
revolutions and the record can easily be read, while on the old type of
construction any rise or fall over the capacity of the Register would be
lost.

LIETZ DUPLEX TIME WATER REGISTERS
The Lietz Duplex Time Water Registers
are a modification of our Nos. 360-361 Water
Registers. By means of attaching an extra
gear and reel to the clockworks, the pencil
can be made to travel across the drum in a
period of either one or eight days. Either
result may be obtained, as conditions neces-
sitate, by winding the chain, which releases
the pencil, on the proper reel.

^r<^P ^^^fl R^^. volves the cylinder "E," causing the
( r f\ 1 1 mt FD 4k, ) ^^ supply roll of paper to travel over it
( OUPJ i rr K , ancj onto (-jje record roller "G," which
in turn is wound tightly through the
fall of its counterweight. The paper is
guided over the cylinder by means of
small projecting pins or burs attached
to its ends peripherally, which cause a
perforation of the paper at intervals of
one inch, equal to two hours of record.
The scale on which the curve is drawn
is such that one inch on the paper
equals one foot in tidal height.
The Reference Pencil "I," which may be shifted along its carriage, is a
convenience in the establishment of either a mean or initial reading, which
readily aids in the taking of observations.
The gauge, once installed and in working order, need not be visited more
than once in seven days for the purpose of winding the driving clock and
the counterweight attached to the record roller.

(not shown in the illustration) and 6 rolls of record paper $150.00

The novel combined prism of the Hensoldt Binocular as shown in the-
above illustration allows the employment of object glasses of larger aperture
(up to 2 inches), thereby giving a higher degree of brightness than other
glasses. It also permits the reduction of the Aluminum Frame to the
slender shape of a telescope, as well as securing the optical elements more
rigidly in proper relation to each other.
This illustration shows the easy access to internal optical parts for cleaning.

LEVELING RODS
The Leveling Rods, Nos. 410-425, listed on page 181, are of our
own manufacture, graduated to hundredths, by uniform, clean divi-
sions. The black numerals, corresponding to the tenths, have an
exact height of 0.06 foot and the red or foot numerals are 0.08 foot
high. This affords a rod reading at distances where graduation lines
disappear. The wood is the best, thoroughly seasoned. The target
and all connecting metal parts are cast in one piece; the vernier
made to read to thousandths ; the scale is brass, face of target
japanned. We recommend these rods to be the best in the market.
Made in two self-reading designs, known as the block and line
graduations, similar to the Philadelphia pattern.
We also manufacture a complete line of Flexible Leveling Rods
and Stadia Rods as listed on the following pages.

ROD LEVEL
No. 449 Lietz Improved Rod Level $3.00
This Rod Level is an improved type, used to hold
rod or pole of any shape perpendicular. The level
bubbles are sunk in the casting at right angles to
each other, thereby lessening the possibility of break-
age, as well as making it easier for the rodman to
hold the bubbles in the center than the old form of
circular spirit levels. The latter are continually leak-
ing and it is impossible to keep them in order.
The Improved Rod Level can either be fastened
to the rod by means of a flat-head screw, for which
there is a key slot provided, or pressed against the
rod or pole while holding. Indispensable for stadia
work.

giving a winding leverage of nearly five inches, and enabling
the winding of a long tape with exceptional ease and rapidity.
A leather strap for carrying is attached to one end of the
frame.

POCKET MEASURING TAPES
LUFKIN STEEL TAPES
Standard of Measurements
Lufkin Steel Tapes are so carefully graduated by Standards supplied by
the United States Government that they can be used for testing the
accuracy of other tapes.
Tension:
Lufkin Steel Tapes are made under a tension of 10 pounds for tapes up
to 100 feet in length and 20 pounds if longer. They are accurate when
supported full length at this tension.
Temperature:
Steel tapes graduated in customary English units (feet, inches, etc.) are
standard at a temperature of 62° Fahrenheit. The National Bureau of
Standards recommend tapes graduated in the Metric System be made
Standard at 20° Centigrade, this being the normal temperature under which
they are used. We are prepared to make them at 20° Centigrade if so
desired, but unless otherwise specified, we will make them accurate at
0° Centigrade, which is the customary Standard for Countries that have
adopted the Metric System.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPARISON
OF THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS
AT WASHINGTON, D. C.
We can furnish a certificate of comparison of the National Bureau of
Standards for any Lufkin Steel Tape the graduations of which are marked
directly on the steel and the zero of the graduations is represented by a
line marked on the tape. The fees of the Bureau of Standards for com-
parisons are given below, to this must be added the transportation charges
to and from Washington, D. C.
(A) For total length, not greater than 100 feet or 50 meters, either
supported throughout or at intervals $0.75
For each additional 100-foot or 50-meter interval .50
(D) For comparing total length both supported throughout and at
intervals for length of 100 feet or 50 meters 1.25 ,
For each additional 100 feet or 50 meters 1.00
(F) For each sub-division compared .10
(G) For determination of length at an additional tension, for each
100- foot or 50-meter interval .25
(H) For determining the tension to the nearest 0.5 pound or 0.25
kilogram at which the tape is most nearly correct at the
standard temperature, for each 100-foot or 50-meter interval .50
For tapes not sent on a reel there will be an additional charge
for each 100-foot or 50-meter length or fraction thereof of .25
The Bureau of Standards certificate states the temperature at which the comparison was
made, the method of support, the tension used in making comparison, and the length corrected
for the standard temperature. The number of each certificate is also etched on the tape.
INSTANTANEOUS READINGS
Instantaneous Readings, a patented system of marking steel and metallic tapes, consists
of repeating the foot marks at every inch in small, yet easily distinguishable figures. Thus the
total reading is brought directly before the eye, eliminating all chance of possible error, and
saving valuable time.

DUPLICATING FIELD BOOKS
The Duplicating Field Book fills a long felt want of civil and mining engineers where field
parties are more or less distant from the office where the plotting is done. By making a single
entry it enables the engineering corps in the field to furnish the home office with a duplicate
sheet of their proceedings each day as the work progresses.
The books are well bound in strong leather covers and contain 80 original and duplicate
sheets and 8 sheets of special pencil carbon paper that will produce perfect and clean copies.
The originals are of white linen ledger paper and are permanently bound. The duplicates are
of strong yellow Manilla paper and are perforated and punched for filing in our Office Record
Binder No. 786.

Loose Leaf Sheets
Loose Leaf Field Books are advantageous to engineers in many respects. They enable one
to leave finished notes in the drafting room while the books are still being used in the field
and to remove certain leaves if necessary. We offer the profession the following assortment.
Our Field Binders Nos. 790 and 792 are made of extra heavy leather covered material and are
very durable. The mechanism is strong and consists of six metal rings which are readily
opened when necessary. The Office Binder No. 791 is made of strong cloth covered material
with similar mechanism. It is intended for use in the office and for filing sheets. This binder
can also be used in the field and has proven very satisfactory for this purpose. The leaves are
ruled on extra heavy stock and are similar in design and colors to our regular field books.

LOGARITHMIC PAPER
Logarithmic Paper is so ruled that the scales in each direction are logarithmic instead of
uniform, as on other cross-section papers; the numbers and divisions marked are placed at such
points as to make their distances from the origin proportional to the logarithm of such numbers
instead of to the numbers themselves. By means of this paper logarithmic operations are per-
formed graphically, without reference to the logarithms themselves. Many hydraulic and other
engineering computations are facilitated by its use, and various relationships (sizes of tie-bars,
shafts, etc., in terms of varying load, or the inverse; circumferences and diameters of circles in
terms of their radii or diameters, or the inverse; weights of the series of bodies of the same
substance and form, but of varying size, or. the inverse, etc., etc.), can be represented.

The constantly increasing demand of the larger drawing rooms for standard sizes of
tracing cloth and tracing paper sheets has induced us to cater to this requirement. We have
executed any number of intricate jobs and our experiences are offered the profession with the
assurance that highly satisfactory results will be had if this work is entrusted to us. Special
non-smearing and absolutely opaque ink used.
We call attention to the illustration above. Note that the printed headings are absolutely
in line with the horizontal rulings, also that the lines are unbroken and joined perfectly, an
accomplishment unattainable unless executed in our special manner. Sheets printed on the
under or reverse side, if desired, to allow for thorough erasing or cleaning without danger of
destroying the printed matter.
Considering the time required for ruling borders and inserting corner titles and the
saving of material, printed sheets are both efficient and economical. Let us quote you, regard-
less of size, quantity or intricacy of composition.

VACUUM BLUE PRINT FRAMES
No. 1275
For obtaining the closest contact these frames are unsurpassed. By
means of a pump the air is entirely exhausted from between the cushion and
the glass, forming the best contact obtainable between the tracing and
sensitized paper.
By use of the vacuum frame the faintest lines of a drawing can be repro-
duced, or drawings wrinkled or worn by much handling can be flattened
out and good prints taken therefrom.
This frame is particularly well adapted for making negative and blue
line prints.

THE NEW BUCKEYE ELECTRIC BLUE PRINT
MACHINE
No.
No
No
Of the various types of cylin-
drical Blue Print Machines which
have been offered we are convinced
that the NEW BUCKEYE is the
most practical from the standpoint
of operation, the most economical
from a viewpoint of operation cost
and the most satisfactory from re-
sults obtainable.
An advantage of this machine is
that it can be purchased with but one
half-cylinder glass ; the other, to
complete the machine, may be added
later. This is an advantage where
the first cost is a consideration.
The half-cylinders are each pro-
vided with a curtain to hold trac-
ings and paper tightly against the
glass during exposure, perfect con-
tact being assured. Tension on the
curtains is maintained by means of
weights attached to small wire cables
which engage both ends of the
rollers. A roller being used on each
side of the machine makes it possible
to. operate one independent of the
other, thus one side only may be
used or one side may be unloaded or
reloaded while the other is printing.
LAMP — Especially constructed for
blue printing, emitting an intense
light, rich in actinic or violet rays.
SPEED GOVERNOR, for regu-
lating the length of exposure, is of
the rotary type in an oil-tight case.
The weight of the lamp supplies the
power.
SAFETY STOP— A device to pre-
vent lamp from dropping in case
supporting cable should break.
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT — Pro-
vided to make it unnecessary for
operator to continually watch ma-
chine, the current being automatically
shut off when lamp reaches bottom.
When ordering ascertain from
your electric company whether cur-
rent is direct or alternating; if latter
give frequency of cycles.

THE REVOLUTE BLUE PRINTING MACHINES
The efficiency of the Revolute Blue Printing Machines is due to the fact
that they are built upon the right principle, the principle of rolling
(revolving) contact.
Rolling contact is obtained by a revolving glass cylinder and a series of
endless belts which move in the same direction at the same rate of speed
and have perfect contact.
The source of light passes through the glass cylinder and hits the tracing
and paper which is fed between the cylinder and the endless belts and
carried by them through the part revolution while the printing is being done.
Rolling contact insures perfect and uniform contact between the tracing
and the paper at all times which is essential in making prints perfect in
detail and tone, and absolutely eliminates all tendency of the paper to slip
on the tracing.
The Revolute Blue Printing Machines will produce blue prints at the
rate of two to twenty linear feet per minute, depending upon the quality of
the paper and the tracing. The cost of operation per unit of output is
extremely low and they are very economical to maintain and always ready
for instant use, self-contained and compact.
They will make a perfect reproduction of every tracing or negative
regardless of its fineness of detail. They will print either separately cut
sheets or continuous rolls from either cloth or paper tracings.
They are devoid of complicated mechanism and are simply constructed
and easily operated.
On the Revolute Blue Printing Machines you will find every attachment
that can be designed to aid their speed and efficiency. They are provided
with variable speed gears with indicators which enables the operator to set
the machine at the right speed for every variation in paper and tracings,
insuring all prints perfect with no loss of time and material for tests. They
are equipped with paper holders to which the paper may be attached and
from which it will automatically feed into the machine.
The very fast machines are, and the others may be, equipped with an
automatic winding-up device which will rewind the paper as it is delivered
printed from the machine.
All machines are provided with automatic strippers which insure the
paper and the tracing leaving the cylinder at the proper moment.
If interested in Washing, Drying and Ironing Machines or other blue
print room equipment send for descriptive circular.

PHOTO PRINT SERVICE
Photostat reproductions of every description. Maps, blue prints, legal papers, financial
statements, manifests and all written or printed documents can be quickly and economically
copied by this process in any quantities. Prices vary according to size and quantities required
and are cheerfully quoted on application. Samples of work sent on request.
LITHO PRINT PROCESS
A comparatively recent process by which tracings, either pencil or ink, can be printed
upon tracing cloth, linaura cloth or papers of any desired thickness. It offers unlimited pos-
sibles as can be appreciated from the fact that a tracing cloth copy can be made from a
tracing, and from which in turn blue prints or negatives can be made if required. Architects
find it most appropriate for duplicating their ink or pencil tracings upon heavier papers since
rendering is beautifully effected in so doing. It being a DRY PROCESS all shrinkage is
overcome. It can be appreciated that this is important in certain classes of work since the
shrinkage in blue printing is well understood and under the negative and blue-line processes
is doubled.
Prices vary according to size and quantities, but compare very favorably with the charges
as made for negative and blue-line work, and we therefore urge our friends to a consideration
of the LITHO PROCESS when requiring copies of their tracings. Write us for quotations.
MOUNTING SERVICE
Patronage solicited for map mounting in all forms, continuous rolls, sheets, cut to fold
for pocket use, etc. We have facilities for mounting extra large sheets, joining them per-
fectly, and can furnish double mounted sheets (muslin between) for platbook or record use.
Inquiries will receive prompt attention.

of instruments are not amiss. This for the guidance of our friends residing
away from the larger cities (where examination of the goods is impossible)
and for the layman or student, inexperienced in the use of Drawing
Instruments.
We hope, by this, to. create a better understanding as to the different
classes of instruments and their respective qualities and the purposes for
which each line is primarily intended.
The varieties and qualities of Drawing Instruments are now so numerous
and the finish, in all, so very similar (even though the intrinsic values are
far greater in one than in another), that we have found it difficult for most
anyone to grasp the actual and the comparative values of an instrument.
The quality can be determined only by their efficiency and durability
in actual use and for this reason the advice of an instructor of drawing or
that of an experienced draftsman is often sought by the beginner when
considering the purchase of drawing tools.
Few people, however, have the good fortune to be thus guided and are
compelled to rely solely upon the reputation of the dealer. We solicit
consultation, either by personal visit or through correspondence, giving the
assurance to our patrons of an honest representation of the merits of the
goods under consideration. The A. Lietz Co., with its long established
business career and reputation for honest dealings, will positively insure
against misrepresentation.
The life and the efficiency of Drawing Instruments depends entirely
upon the qualities of the materials or metals employed in their manufacture
and not on the finish; upon careful and conscientious workmanship and on
their design and general form.
Drawing Instruments recognized as of the highest quality are made of
finest hard rolled German silver and best English steel and are not cast or
coined in die. The employment of hard rolled plate metal naturally adds
to the cost of making but it is absolutely necessary in the production of
durable instruments; and being so made, they will outlast the actual need of
professional draftsmen; in fact, have been known to be in use through
successive generations.

The Kern Patent Pivot Joint Head offers the great advantage over all
other types of construction in that it entirely suppresses any lost motion or
injurious friction and that the stability of the head of the compass is greatly
increased. We carry all Kern Dividers and Compasses with straightening
device which admits of maintaining the handle in a perpendicular position at
all times.
Original Pattern Compasses have the one leg made in
one length. The needle is kept in a sheath and clamped by
a set screw between the split end of that leg. Thus the
needle may be put in any desired angle to it, i. e., perpen-
dicular to the paper, permitting use of the entire length of
leg and giving the compasses the widest possible range.
The other leg taking the points is jointed instead of the
needle pencil or pen pieces having their joint.
The points are fastened in a very solid way and the
needle in its holder or sheath is as steady as if in one piece
with the leg.

THE RAPID DOT AND DASH DEVICE
The Rapid Dot and Dash Device as applied to amber triangles or amber-
lined T squares and straight edges is a simple and most practical one, con-
sisting of an intermittent groove cut just in back of the edges.
A small metal attachment, which can be adjusted to either nib of any
ordinary ruling pen, travels along these grooves, the uncut portions causing
the pen to be lifted off the paper, registering the spaces between the dots
and dashes, while the cut portions form the dots and dashes. This attach-
ment, when once adjusted, requires no changing and does not interfere with
the use of the pen for straight-line work, nor do the grooves in any way
affect the edges of the triangles or straightedges.
We recommend this device as the most perfect and efficient dotting in-
strument yet devised. The results obtained are absolutely perfect and the
variety of designs is unlimited. We are in a position to furnish any special
design to order and offer the following suggestions, which we can furnish
on a day's notice:

ALCO "CIRCLE A" DRAWING INSTRUMENTS
Each instrument stamped ftLCO ®
The one point of great importance about ALCO "Circle A" Drawing
Instruments is that they are all made to gauge, all parts being interchange-
able. The materials used are very finest quality of rolled German silver and
best steel. .
COMPASSES AND DIVIDERS
The foremost requirement in Compasses and Dividers intended for high-
class work is an absolutely true and steady joint. By reason of their con-
struction the joints of our ALCO "Circle A" Compasses can never become
loose or work unevenly; it permits of exact adjustment and may readily be
oiled. The construction is shown in the accompanying illustrations. Fig. 1
shows the plain joint while Fig. 2 illustrates the joint in connection with our
straightening device.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
The shanks of the Compasses which are centrically connected by a
bipartite pivot showing a rounded head on either side, are enclosed by a
fork carrying corresponding cavities on either side of its inner surface to
receive the rounded heads of the pivots. The ends of the fork are drawn
together by a screw passing between the legs of the compasses, by means of
which the tension can be minutely regulated.
The shanks of the compasses are thus held together, not by the natural
and therefore transient elasticity of the fork, but by the permanent pressure
exerted by the screw. This construction warrants a true and smooth action
at all times.
The straightening device forces the handle to remain in a central position
to the legs. The construction will be clear by reference to Fig. 3.

The manner by which pen. pencil and needle point parts are held in place
in their socket is very simple, but at the same time effective, so that these
parts can never net shaky (See Fig. 41 The socket is split and the two sides
being draw together by a T-bolt screw clamp the inserted parts firmly in
place.
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
All Compasses are supplied with needle point parts; these when inserted
turn the instruments into perfect Dividers. One of the legs is provided with
a needle point held in a split reversible sleeve (Fig. 5), so that either a plain
or shouldered point may be used. The points can always be adjusted to a
position perpendicular to the paper regardless of the opening and without
any noticeable shortening of the leg, in this way avoiding sliding and mis-
placing of the center point and allowing the instrument to be used on a
considerably larger radius than is possible with the old style Compasses,
the lengthening bar being dispensable.
All needle points have extremely fine and sharp points allowing of
accurate spacing and leaving only the slightest marks on the paper. They
are not ordinary sewing needles but are specially made for the instruments
from best hardened steel.
In all of the ALCO "Circle A" Drawing Instruments the steel points are
removable. They are held in place by small clamp screws and can be
exchanged very easily by giving the heads of the screws half a turn with
the screwdriver. The troublesome regrinding of broken points is entirely
done away with. If a point is worn or damaged it can be replaced by a
new one. Reserve points are supplied with every set of instruments.
The Compasses and Dividers are of the flat-half-round type. Corners and
sharp edges are avoided as much as possible to make the handling more
pleasant. Screws are placed between the legs so as not to obstruct the view
when drawing.

Another great advantage of the ALCO "Circle A" Drawing Instruments
is the interchangeableness of all parts. Not only pen and pencil points of
one pair of compasses will fit exactly into any other of the same size; the
legs or any other parts of one instrument fit perfectly into any other, sizes,
of course, being equal.
With all Compasses ordered in cases a screwdriver serving as leadbox
and a metal handle is furnished whose hollow space holds several reserve
needle points. This handle serves for inserting pen, pencil or needle point
part, so that each of them may be used as a separate instrument.
SPRING BOW INSTRUMENTS
Are made in two distinctly different styles:
Style A. Instruments with ANNULAR spring, Fig. A (new style).
Style B. Instruments with FLAT spring, Fig B (old style).
We stock only the style A instruments.
Fig. A
Fig. B
Both styles are fitted either with side or center screw adjustment.
Bow instruments of the annular spring construction have the great ad-
vantage that the tension of the shanks remains nearly constant for any spr'ead
while Bows with flat springs (old style) become slacker the more they are
opened. The shanks are made of German silver in this construction, whereby
rusting is avoided.
The threads of the adjusting screws are all cut very deep and coarse,
especially those of the center adjustment Bows, to insure quick motion and
to avoid the disagreeable stripping.
All Steel Points Are Removable.
All Bows have instruments comparatively wide spread, especially with
the 4J4-in. Bows, so a good deal of work may be done for which the heavier
Compasses usually are too clumsy.

Bow Instrument No. 1665 is a very serviceable complete pocket set for
small work. In connection with the metal handle it contains all the in-
struments needed by a draughtsman for this kind of work.
IMPROVED ROTATING BOW PENS
All Rotating Compasses of the ordinary type have the disadvantage that
the pen or pencil points move in an arc relative to the center point, and
since a pen will draw properly only at one certain position to the paper, it
follows that the angular changes occurring in the position of the pen point
will necessarily mar the performance of the pen.
In Rotating Compasses Nos. 1668 and 1669 the introduction of a two-
spring arrangement eliminates this defect entirely, it forces the pen point
to remain parallel to the center point; the angle to the drawing surface being
constant no matter what the size of the circle may be.
ALCO "CIRCLE A" DRAWING PENS
The Ruling Pens are made of the finest quality of steel. The material
used in Pens Nos. 1600 to 1602 being made especially hard, they are un-
equalled for their extreme hardness and toughness.
Lateral motion of the blades is entirely overcome in the pens by T-bolt
screws. The screws move freely and can adjust themselves to the position
of the blades.
All Ruling Pens have metal handles.

of which they can at once be set for approximately the distance required,
the final adjustment only being effected by the regulating screw.

ALCO "CIRCLE L" DRAWING INSTRUMENTS
Each instrument stamped ALCO ©
Of finest hard rolled German silver, white wrought metal and
highest grade tool steel.
Features of the Compasses.
Embodying improved pivot joint construction, head true and nicely
fitted. Design does not permit of looseness. Patent clamp to lock instru-
ment in any position. Straightening device to keep handle in perpendicular
position at all times.
Double Steel Knee Joint
Slip Shank Fitting
These features prevent looseness, increasing their durability to a very
large degree. The insertion joints are nicely fitted and very strong, making
the clamp screw almost unnecessary.
THE PATENT NEEDLE ADJUSTMENT
as embodied in our Alco "Circle L" Compasses and Bow Instru-
ments offers an advantage which is self-evident. By its sim-
plicity one can regulate the needle to a nicety and very much
quicker than in -the old way.
For very fine work this feature should prove invaluable,
serving, as it does, the duty of a micrometer.
THE DIVIDER POINTS
are so made that they are readily interchanged or replaced by simply turn-
ing the clamp screw, overcoming thereby the troublesome regrinding of the
broken points.

The Ruling Pens which constitute our ALCO "Circle L" line, both sep-
arate and in sets, arc fitted with the patent Slide Catch feature. We firmly
believe that of all the devices which have been attempted to aid the drafts-
man in the opening and cleaning of the Ruling Pen this idea is the neatest,
quickest and simplest of any yet devised.
Open
In order to open the pen (when closed) hold firmly, engaging the slide
catch with thumb and in this manner the opening and closing is controlled;
the latter by bringing pressure to bear as catch is slid forward.

BOW INSTRUMENTS
The innovation in design of these bow instruments lias eliminated the
troublesome stripping of the threads. Being of spring construction with
inserted left and right threaded nuts, the life of the bow is indefinite. The
tension remains almost constant whereas the old form, due to unequal wear
or strain, are soon worn out. Please note that the threaded ends of the
center wheel never project beyond the side of the bow.

PLANIMETERS
This very useful instrument, for obtaining areas, is so well known to the
engineer that it hardly need be described in particular. A theoretical discus-
sion of the principles underlying its operation will be found in almost any
handbook on higher surveying.
We submit the following instructions and examples for using these
instruments:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PLANIMETERS ARRANGED FOR
MEASURING AREAS IN SQUARE INCHES (OR OTHER
SINGLE UNITS ONLY)
Planimeters Nos. 2000 and 2001. (Illustrated on page 372)
With needle point outside the diagram. Put the instrument on the draw-
ing surface, set the tracing point F at any mark on the outline of the area,
then press the needle point E slightly into the paper outside the curve, and
read off the roller D and the counting wheel G, taking the whole circum-
ference of the recording roller as the unit of the reading (the roller need not
be set to zero).
Readings. The drum of the roller is divided into 100 parts. The tenths
of a part are read on the vernier. The complete turns of the roller are read
on the counting disc, which advances one line at every complete turn. The
counting disc performs one revolution at every 10 turns of the roller.
Each complete reading is a figure of 4 digits, the units being read on the
counting disc, the tenths and hundredths on a drum, and the thousandths on
the vernier.
The reading of the roller and disc, shown for example in the adjoining
figure, is 5.343.
(The zero of the drum and a mark of the disc should simultaneously be
opposite the fixed index mark. This is never exactly the case in consequence
of the imperfection of the worm wheel gear, and this should be taken into
account in making readings in the same way as with a watch, when the
minute hand points to 12, while the hour hand fails to indicate the exact
hour.)
Then move the tracing point F around the area in the direction of the
movement of the hands of a watch till it reaches again the starting point.
Now take another reading and subtract the first from the second reading.
The difference multiplied by 10 will then be the area of the curve in square
inches.
Example: To measure the area of a square of 4-inch sides.
Result: Second reading 3.073
first reading — 1.473
1.600 X 10 = 16 sq. ins.

If the reading, before starting, had been 9.521 then the reading after circum-
scribing the same square as before would be 1.121. As the travel of the roller is in
both cases the same, it is evident that the zero mark of the wheel has passed the
fixed index mark' and that, consequently, the second reading has now to be supplied
with one more digit on the left before substracting the first reading. Thus
Complete second reading 11.121
first reading — 9.521
1.600 X 10 = 16 sq. ins.
With needle point inside the diagram. Circumscribe the diagram with
the tracing point in the direction of the movement of the hands of a watch,
watching at the same time the counter in order to see whether the total
rotation of the roller is a forward or a back motion.
This preliminary rough operation being completed proceed as explained
before, following the curve carefully with the tracing point. If the total
rotation of the roller has been a forward motion, subtract the first from the
second reading and add the difference to the figure engraved on the top of
the small weight used for keeping the needle point in its place. The sum
multiplied by 10 will then be the area of the curve in square inches.
Example: To measure a circle of 18 inches in diameter. (You will see
that the total rotation of the roller is forward.)
Result: Second reading 9.884
first reading — 0.868
9.016
Figure on weight + 16.431 (This figure varies slightly for different
instruments.)
25.447 X 10 = 254.47 sq. ins.
If the total rotation of the roller is a back motion, subtract the second from the
first reading and subtract the difference from the figure on the weight.
Example: To measure a square of 11 inch sides. (You will see that the total
rotation of the roller is backward.)
Result: Complete first reading 13.009
second reading — 8 . 678
4.331
Figure on weight 16.431
Difference of readings — 4.331
12.100 X 10 = 121sq. ins.
NOTE. — When the mark o on the roller is at the mark o on the vernier
a mark of the counting wheel should be opposite the fixed index mark. Any
slight noncoincidence due to imperfection of worm wheel gear may readily
be allowed for in taking readings.
The area corresponding to a total revolution of the roller — 10 sq. ins. in
the above example — is engraved on the weight along with the figure before
mentioned.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PLANIMETERS ARRANGED FOR
MEASURING AREAS IN SEVERAL UNITS AND SCALES
Planimeters Nos. 2005-2010.

Set the index mark J on the beveled edge of the slide to a convenient
division on the bar. There is a clamp and fine adjustment to get this posi-
tion exactly. The number of units of area per unit of reading and the nature
of unit or scale are marked to the right of each division.

The divisions on the bar are the following:
on back | 200 ac 6" = 1 mi | }0°^CJ ,: 2^°, | 5 ac 1 : 2500
on top 20.811 20.818 21.042

(The figures on the top of the bar vary slightly for different instruments. The
denotation o' means square foot, D cm = square centimeter, D in = square inch,
ac = acre, mi = mile.)
The slide being set on the bar, place the instrument upon the drawing
and measure the diagram as with planimeter No. 2000.
Example: To measure a circle of 5 inches in diameter on a ]4" plan.
Set the index mark J on the slide to the division 200 □' ^" = 1', press the
needle point E outside the circle into the paper, set the tracing point F to any mark
of the circle, read off the counter — the reading may be 1.322 — follow the circle
with the tracing point until you arrive at the starting point and read again the
counter. The reading will then become 2.893.
Result: Second reading 2.893
first reading — 1.322
1.S71 X 200 = 314.2 sq. ft.
(The multiplier 200 is identical with the figure close to the right of the division
used.)
For measuring small diagrams drawn on the J^" or l/i" scale, the slide may
conveniently be set to the last division on the bar marked .^r. ::, A,, ~ , ,
If the needle point E be placed inside the diagram to be measured, then one of
the figures on the top of the bar must be used in the same way as the figure on the
weight of planimeter No. 2000.
Example : To measure a square of 1 2-inch sides on an ordinance map (scale
1 : 2500).
Set the index mark on the back of the slide to the division 10 ac 1 : 2500.
Suppose that the counter reads 2.482 before starting the tracing point.
In following the outline of the square you will see that the total rotation of the
counter is backward and that the zero mark of the counting wheel passes the fixed
index once.
Result: Complete first reading 12.482
second reading — 4.723

On these instruments the tracer arm is graduated, and settings can very
accurately be made for any scale, either U. S. standard or foreign measure-
ment, and allowances can be made for any shrinkage of the paper. The
tracer arm also bears proportion marks for a number of scales for inches

Arrangement for Finding the Mean Height of Indicator Diagrams
This arrange-
ment consists of
] two steel points
(protected by metal
caps when not in
use) as shown in
the adjoining illus-
tration, one at-
tached to the top
of the tracer arm,
the other to the
top of the carriage.
To obtain the mean height of the diagram, hold the instrument upside down, and by
shifting the slide on the bar, adjust the two steel points so that they coincide exactly with the
length of the diagram. Then place the planimeter without altering the relative position of
slide and bar in the usual way upon the drawing — needle point outside the diagram — and
follow the outline of the diagram with the tracing point. The difference of the readings at the
beginning and at the end of the operation divided by 0.4 will be the mean height of the
diagram, expressed in inches.
Example: Second reading
first reading
2.361
1.913
0.4) 0.448 = 1.12 ins. = mean height.
If the diagrams for up and down stroke are measured jointly, divide by 0 . 8
instead of 0.4.
Mean pressure = Mean height X Scale of spring of indicator. Supposing the
scale of the spring in the above example is 1 " = 80 lbs. per sq. in., then
0.448 X 80
Mean pressure = = 89 . 6 lbs. per sq. in.
0.4
The number of pounds per inch of height being usually a multiple of 4, the arithmetical
work is thus extremely simple.

COMPENSATING PLANIMETERS
Compensating Planimeters Nos. 2020, 2021 and 2022 are in two separate
parts: one is the tracer arm with measuring and recording wheels, the other
the polar arm, having the pole weight at one end and a steel ball at the
other, which forms a ball joint with the carriage. The ball joint cannot
become loose or shaky, nor is it liable to be injured when adjusting the
tracer arm or during shipment, as each part is stored in the case separately.
This construction gives the tracer arm a motion of 180° in either direction,
therefore the range of these instruments is much greater than that of the
ordinary planimeters.
The pole is so constructed as to combine the advantages of the pole plate
and the needle point, as the point need not be pressed into the paper and
may be used for setting the roller to zero without touching the measuring
roller.
By measuring a diagram with the pole on the right, and then on the left
side of the tracer arm, and taking the mean of the readings all errors of the
instrument are compensated.

used with the pole inside of a figure, the constant is a round number, 20,000 for any setting.
The instrument is used in the same way with the pole inside as with the pole outside, and by
tracing the figure with the pole on the right and on the left of the tracer arm (about 13 inches)
and taking the mean of the readings, large areas can be measured with great accuracy. The
extensibility of the pole arm and the great range of the tracer arm permit of measuring very
large figures with the pole outside. By reducing the length of the pole and tracer arms, the
instrument can be used in a very small space.

No. 2025 Pantograph Polar Planimeter, German silver, with two adjustable tracer arms
arranged for measuring areas in several units and scales. In neat velvet-

Pantograph Polar Planimeter is particularly well adapted for measuring very large or
very small areas. The long tracer arm has a range of a circle about 38" in diameter. When
using the long tracer arm it is advisable to remove the tracing point of the short arm, and the
figure is traced in the usual manner. The short tracer arm is used for measuring very small
areas. The tracing point is set on the figure, and the tracing point of the LONGER arm is so
guided that the tracing point of the shorter arm follows the outline. As the two tracing points
move alike, this is very easily manipulated. When using the short tracing arm in this manner
the travel of the measuring wheel for the area is increased, in consequence of which the value
of the wheel unit is smaller, and more accurate results are obtained.

measuring areas in several units and scales. Range: Area enclosed between

The Polar Disc Planimeter is especially useful when figures are traced on paper that has
been folded, rolled, etc., as the measuring wheel revolves on a plane disc instead of over the
paper being traced. The paper on the disc can easily be renewed at any time by removing the
screw nut on top of the disc. More accurate results are thus obtained when tracing on paper
where the surface has in any manner been damaged.

IMPROVED WILLIS PLANIMETER
No. 2035
No. 2035 Improved Willis Planimeter, in neat leather-covered case
l^x3Hx°^> complete with instructions. Each $25.00
The Improved Willis Planimeter reads M. E. P. direct from indicator diagram, gives areas
of regular or irregular circles or diagrams in square inches, feet and yards without any com-
putation.
The usual planimeter has a recording wheel whose axle is parallel to the tracer bar. This
wheel scrapes along the paper for all movements parallel to the tracer bar, and records by
rotating all movements perpendicular to it. The instrument to which we call attention acts
on an entirely different principle. The wheel (W) rolls for all movements parallel to the tracer
bar and its steel spindle glides beneath roller for all perpendicular movements. After tracing
a figure the result is read from the scale next to the wheel; this scale being triangular, has six
graduated edges, any one of which can be brought next to the wheel, thus permitting reading to
be taken in the unit best suited to the work.
The recording wheel of the improved Willis Planimeter is made of steel and has a sharp
edge, which takes firm hold upon the paper or material upon which the instrument is operated,
and the long steel shaft of this wheel glides freely beneath the rollers (R) and. (S). which
practically bear the weight of the instrument, and makes it absolutely frictionless. This con-
struction gives great ease of movement, and the instrument is handled as readily on a rough
table as on the finest paper. As the rotary movement is not registered, it is apparent that the
accuracy of the instrument is not affected by the character of the paper or material upon which
the instrument is operated, or by any slight reduction of the diameter of the wheel or injury to
the knife edge. This is one of the most important points to be considered in the selection of a
planimeter.

MECHANICAL INTEGRATORS
With the aid of these instruments it is possible to ascertain the area and
moments relative to an axis of any figure, by simply tracing its outline.
They greatly facilitate the finding of the displacement, moments of stability
and inertia, center of gravity, etc., of ships, the tensile strength, resistance.
safe load, etc., of tracks, cables, beams, contents of embankments, etc. The
readings are taken from the recording discs. These instruments are very
simple, and can be used by anybody after a little practice.

Amsler's Mechanical Integrators Nos. 2045 and 2046 are provided with
two tracing points, for large and small figures. When using the one nearest
to the center of rotation of the instrument, the travel of the measuring
wheel is increased, as a consequence the area value of the wheel unit is
smaller, and more accurate results are obtained. Very large figures can be
measured in sections. By means of a formula furnished with each instru-
ment, area and moment of figures drawn to scale can easily be obtained.

THE MECHANICAL INTEGRAPH
The Integraph is an integrator which not only indicates the final result
of the integration, but also gives a graphic representation thereof. While
the tracer travels around the outline of the figure, the integraph automatically
draws an integral curve the ordinates of which are proportionate to the
area of the figure traveled around (vi =_/>'■ dx). If this first integral curve
is traced by the tracer of the integraph as a differential curve, the tracer
draws a second integral curve the ordinates of which are proportional to the
moment of stability (yj =fy2 dx). By tracing this second integral curve we
obtain a third integral curve the ordinates of which are proportional to the
moment of inertia (ys =/ y3 dx) etc. The y-axis for the moments can be
chosen anywhere on the curve, i. e., it can be shifted. By means of the
integraph many of the most difficult calculations and problems occurring in
the practice of an engineer can be solved in a simple and reliable manner and
with much saving of time and the operator need not possess any knowledge
of higher mathematics.
The applications of the integraph are very numerous. With it we calcu-
late areas, divide areas, determine centers of gravity, calculate moments of
stability, load and resistance, solve algebraical equations, etc.

THE UNIVERSAL DRAFTING MACHINE
Cut shows Mid-Anchor Machine
The Universal Drafting Machine consists of two parallelograms, a protractor, and a
square having graduated ruling edges. The blades of the square are interchangeable for all
graduations.
The two parallelograms joined together constitute an arm which, anchored to the board,
gives the protractor and square a parallel motion about the drawing. This form of parallel
motion permits either zero on the ruling edges to be instantly placed at any point on the
drawing, by a single direct movement, and a line being drawn along the graduated ruling
edge, just the exact length required.
A conveniently arranged protractor permits the square to be set at any angle, and it then
has the same parallel motion about the board as when set at zero.. Machines are furnished
with either of the three following protractors:
STANDARD PROTRACTOR. Has graduated arc allowing square to be set at any
angle, and is provided with automatic stops allowing the square to be instantly set at 30°,
45°, 60° and 90°, without stopping to read or clamp the protractor.
ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL PROTRACTOR. Special graduations are
added to this protractor giving one-fifth, one-fourth and one-third roof pitches each way
from zero, also special graduations to give two inches to the foot each way from zero.
CIVIL ENGINEERS* PROTRACTOR. This protractor has two independent swinging
motions, the same as on a transit. The protractor is graduated to one-half degrees and the
vernier reads to minutes. With the aid of this protractor it is a simple matter to duplicate
work (done in the field) on the drawing, directly from the field notes.
HARDENED JOINT AND SOLID ROD DRAFTING MACHINES
The Hardened Joint Solid Rod Drafting Machine is a development from the original
construction of the Drafting Machine. Hardened, ground and polished straight cylindrical
pins working in hardened, ground and polished bearings form the bearings of this machine,
and if kept properly lubricated and free from dirt they will give many years of good service
with no perceptible wear.
BALL BEARING TUBULAR ROD DRAFTING MACHINES
The Ball Bearing Tubular Rod Drafting Machine is an achievement that makes the
Drafting Machine practically ideal. It has absolutely no play in the bearings and is fric-
tionless. It is light in weight and possesses great rigidity, and is exceedingly accurate, and
the motion is smooth and light.

DRAFTSMEN'S SCALES
Ate* Quality
We offer two types of scales: the Plain Boxwood and the White Edge,
the latter a combination of boxwood and celluloid. Both are made of the
finest materials and the wood is thoroughly seasoned. They are engine
divided to United States standard measurements and the graduations are
fine and clear and deeply cut. Both the Boxwood and the White Edge Scales
are made in a variety of shapes, described as follows:
Triangular Scales, Regular Shape. This type of scale
has the advantage of possessing six surfaces and affords the
greatest range of scales.
Triangular Scales, Improved Shape. Like the regular
shape, possess six surfaces but the concaved facet shape
affords a better contact with the drawing and allows a
better angle of vision. It prevents the divisions from
wearing off by friction.
Flat Scales, Regular Shape. The regular shape flat
scales have two bevels for graduations. The graduations
are more conveniently read than on the triangular scales.
Flat Scales, Double Bevel. These scales have four bevels
for graduations, but this shape necessitates the raising of
the scale to bring the edge in close contact with the paper.
Flat Scales, Opposite Bevel. This type of scale is an
improvement on the regular flat scale as it presents but one
graduated bevel to the eye. It is easily picked up or turned.

SCALES MADE TO ORDER
We arc equipped to furnish special scales of all kinds, and in order to
avoid mistakes or delay in prolonged corresponding we offer the following
suggestions when ordering special scales:
1 — State whether Boxwood or White Edge Scale is wanted.
2 — State shape scale is to be. (See page 400.)
3 — State length of scale wanted.
•1 — How each edge is to be .graduated. State whether to be Open Divided
or Full Divided.
There are two distinctly different ways of graduating a scale: the Open
Divided and the Full Divided Scale.
The Open Divided Scales are generally used for architectural or mechan-
ical drawing and are divided in inches or parts of inches, which represent
feet or full inches. The units are graduated along the entire length and the
end units only are subdivided to inches or fractions.
When ordering a scale divided with different divisions, two to each edge,
one of these must be the double of the other, as for instance, $4x1, \'/2x3 or
'Ax'/i. One of the divisions on each edge is then numbered from the right
and one from the left. On an open divided scale with -but one division to
each edge each scale is ordinarily numbered reading from right to left and
from left to right, and each end unit is subdivided to inches or fractions.
We can furnish the above scales, fully divided, to order if desired.
The Full Divided Scales, or Chain Scales, as they are commonly called,
are used mostly by surveyors or civil engineers. They are generally divided
to decimals of inches or feet, and subdivided the entire length of the scale.
Therefore it is possible to have only one division to each edge. They are
usually numbered continuous every ten divisions, the triangular scales read-
ing from left to right and the flat scales reading both ways, i. e., from left to
right and from right to left.
5 — State how each edge is to be numbered, from left to right or right to
left or both ways.
It is advisable when ordering special scales to furnish us a sketch. This
need not be accurate. All that is necessary is to show the divisions as you
want them, the length of the various graduation marks, and the numbering
as it is wanted.

THE "INTERLOX" SLIDE RULE
The Interlox Sliding Rule combines a rule for lineal measurements with a direct reading
inside caliper rule. When closed, all the slides are locked together with an interlocking device.
The first slide, when pulled out, releases the second slide, the second releases the third, and
so on. This interlocking device makes it impossible to make any error in taking measurements
as the slides cannot be extended or closed except in consecutive order. The closing is effected
by pressing a key spring on the first slide which releases the second, the second the third, etc.,
until closed.
Illustration shows rule in position for taking inside measurements. A direct reading of
the distance between the two extreme points of the rule is obtained where indicated by arrow.

The arm is perfectly rigid. An extra strong steel spring clutches the car-
riage firmly at any point along the bar, so that there is positively no lost
motion in any of its parts, although the pinching together of either left or
right post and the lever forces it evenly and smoothly forward the distance
of the setting. In operating, let us say from left to right, bring the car, by
means of pressure, to the left-hand end of the base. Set the left indicator to
the desired spacing, clamp firmly. Place the forefinger of the left hand on
the knurled knob, the thumb on the lever. Press together, releasing first fore-
finger, then the thumb. In reversing, or in this case, operating from right
to left, set to the desired spacing, by means of the right-hand indicator, and
proceed as before.

SLIDE RULES
The Slide Rule is an indispensable aid to anyone who in his business is called upon to make calcula-
tions. The principles with which one must be familiar are few and simple and are easily mastered with
little practice.
Abstract from Kent's Mechanical Engineers' Pocket Book, 9th Edition, 1916.
The slide rule is based on the principles that the addition of logarithms multiplies the numbers which
they represent, and subtracting logarithms divides the numbers. By its use the operations of multiplica-
tion, division, the finding of powers and the extraction of roots, may be performed rapidly and with an ap-
proximation to accuracy which is sufficient for many purposes. With a good 10-inch Mannheim rule the
results obtained are usually accurate to i of 1 per cent. Much greater accuracy is obtained with cylin-
drical rules like the Thacher.
The rule consists of a fixed and a sliding part both of which are ruled with logarithmic scales; that is,
with consecutive divisions spaced not equally, as in an ordinary scale, but in proportion to the logarithms
of a series of numbers from 1 to 10. By moving the slide to the right or left the logarithms are added or
subtracted, and multiplication or division of the numbers thereby effected. The scales on the fixed part
of the rule are known as the A and D scales, and those on the slide as the B and C scales. A and B are the
upper and C and D are the lower scales. The A and B scales are each divided into two, left hand and right
hand, each being a reproduction, one half the size, of the C and D scales. A "runner," which consists of a
framed glass plate with a fine vertical line on it, iB uBed to facilitate some of the operations. The numbering
on each scale begins with the figure 1, which is called the "index" of the scale. In using the scale the figures
1, 2, 3, etc., are to be taken either as representing these numbers, or as 10, 20, 30, etc., 100, 200, 300, etc.,
0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc., that is, the numbers multiplied or divided by 10, 100, etc., as may be most convenient
for the solution of a given problem.
The following examples will give an idea of the method of using the slide rule.
Pro-portion. — Set the first term of a proportion on the C scale opposite the second term on the D Bcale,
then opposite the third term on the C scale read the fourth term on the D scale.
Example. — Find the fourth term in the proportion 12 : 21 :: 30 : z. Move the slide to the right until
12 on C concides with 21 on D, then opposite 30 on C read x on D ■= 52.5. The A and B scales may be used
instead of C and D.
Multiplication . — Set the index or figure 1 of the C scale to one of the factors on D.
Example. — 25X3. Move the slide to the right until the left index of C coincides with 25 on the D
scale. Under 3 on the C scale will be found the product on the D scale, = 75.
Division. — Place the divisor on C opposite the dividend on D, and the quotient will be found on D
under the index of C.
Example.— 750 -5- 25. Move the slide to the right until 25 on C coincides with 750 on Z). Under the
left index of C is found the quotient on D, = 30.
Combined Multiplication and Division. — Arrange the factors to be multiplied and divided in the form
of a fraction with one more factor in the numerator than in the denominator, supplying the factor 1 if
necessary. Then perform alternate division and multiplication, using the runner to indicate the several
partial results.
4X5X8
Example. =8.9 nearly. Set 3 on C over 4 on D, set runner to 5 on C, then Bet 6 on C under
3X6
the runner, and read under 8 on C the result 8.9 — on D.
Involution and Evolution. — The numbers on scales A and B are the squares of their coinciding numbers
on the scales C and D, and also the numbers on scales C and D are the square roots of their coinciding num-
bers on scales A and B .
Example. — 4*= 16. Set the runner over 4 on scale D and read 16 on A.
y 16 = 4. Set the runner over 16 on A and read 4 on D.
In extracting square roots, if the number of digits is odd, take the number on the left-hand scale of
A', if the number of digits is even, take the number on the right-hand scale of A.
To cube a number, perform the operations of squaring and multiplication.
Example. — 2'= 8. Set the index of C over 2 on D, and above 2 on B read the result 8 on A.
Extraction of the Cube Root. — Set the runner over the number on A, then move the slide until there is
found under the runner on B, the same number which is found under the index of C on D; this number
is the cube root desired.
Example. — y8 = 2. Set the runner over 8 on A, move the slide along until the same number
appears under the runner on B and under the index of Con D; this will be the number 2.
Trigonometrical Computations. — On the under side of the slide (which is reversible) are placed three
scales, a scale of natural sines marked S, a scale of natural tangents marked T, and between these a scale
of equal parts. To use these scales, reverse the slide, bringing its under side to the top. Coinciding with
an angle on S its sine will be found on A, and coinciding with an angle on T will be found the tangent on
D. Sines and tangents can be multiplied or divided like numbers.

The Polyphase Slide Rule has in addition to the regular scales of the Mannheim Rule a
scale of cubes on the edge of the rule and an inverted scale through the center of the slide.
These scales may be used in connection with the others, by means of the indicator. The
inverted scale enables taking three factors at one setting of the slide, and reading reciprocals
by means of the indicator. Almost any combination of three factors involving square,
square root, cube and cube root may be solved at one setting of the slide.
Rutes are engine divided on white celluloid facings. The divisions are clear, distinct,

making the scale length of the logarithmic unit equal to 50 cm. instead of 12.5 cm or 25 cm.
The scale is not, however, made in one length of 50 cm. but in two lengths of 25 cm. each.
All the other scales, including those on the back of the slide, are based on the scale length
of 50 cm.; so that all calculations with this slide rule have a uniform and considerably greater
degree of accuracy than those made with the ordinary slide rule.
Rules are engine divided on white celluloid facings. The divisions are clear, distinct,
permanent and accurate.

THE ALCO SLIDE RULE
This Slide Rule differs from those hitherto ordinarily employed in that it
has on its front face not only the four middle scales (two on the rule A and
D; and two on the slide B and C), but also two other scales, viz., an evenly
divided scale E, on the lower margin, and a logarithmic scale F, at the top,
the latter consisting of three similar scales, placed consecutively.
By this arrangement, logarithms, cubes and cube roots can be directly
and easily determined. With the ordinary slide rules these calculations,
especially the extraction of cube roots, are somewhat complicated, and
necessitate the use of the slide.
All calculations such as multiplication, division, involution, evolution, etc.,
are carried out with the first mentioned scales, A, B, C, D.

Especially evolved in response to a demand for a suitable Slide Rule for

makes the reference to hand-books almost superfluous.

HAZEN-WILLIAMS HYDRAULIC SLIDE RULE
' 4 i. .' — - .
No. 3044
The Hazen-Williams Hydraulic Slide Rule is used principally for deter-
mining the velocity and quantity of the flow of water in pipes and channels,
but is also adapted for ordinary slide rule calculations. Special computations
may also be solved by its use, as, for instance, to determine the corresponding
flow at any other slope or head, when the flow of water through a pipe or
"system of pipes produced by a given slope or head is known; to find what
size of pipe must be used to produce the same discharge for any other slope,
when the discharge in a given size of pipe at a given slope is known; to com-
pute the discharge through a compound pipe, that is, a pipe of larger diameter
connecting with a pipe of smaller diameter, or a series of such pipes; to
compute the friction of a given amount of water flowing through two pipes
of different diameters and different lengths, freely connected at each end; to
get with one setting of the slide the quantity of water corresponding to any
slope; to get with one setting of the slide the quantities of water discharged
by pipes of different sizes for a given slope and coefficient. In size and gen-
eral appearance the rule is like an ordinary Mannheim 10-inch slide rule. On
the back of the rule are several tables to aid in the convenience of computa-
tions to which the rule is applicable. Engine divided on white celluloid
facings. The divisions are clear, distinct, permanent and accurate.

Thacher's Calculating Instrument is a device for performing a great variety of useful
arithmetical calculations with rapidity and accuracy. Its operation is simple and readily
learned. By its use the tedious drudgery of calculation is avoided and the chance of error
eliminated.
As is shown in the illustration, the instrument consists of a cylinder 4 inches in diameter
and 18 inches long, which revolves in an open framework composed of 20 angular bars held
between two metal rings. The cylinder bears a scale corrsponding to the scale of the Slide
Rule, which is duplicated on the exposed sides of the bars. Results can be obtained to the
fourth and usually to the fifth place of figures with a surprising degree of accuracy, sufficient
for nearly every requirement of the professional or business man. Examples in multiplication,
division, proportion, powers or roots involving not more than three quantities, are solved by
one operation, and any number of values of an algebraic function composed of two constants
and a single variable may generally be found by one setting.
The useful applications of the instrument are almost unlimited; among them may be men-
tioned finding the stresses and sections in trusses and girders, mensuration, estimates of work
and material, solving trigonometrical formulas, making and applying tables, problems in
mechanical powers, machinery and hydraulics, problems in simple and compound interest, dis-
count, prorating, the conversion of weights and measures, cost of merchandise with per cent
of duty or profit added.

suitable for carrying in coat pocket.

The NEW METHOD
STADIA REDUCER
No. I
For Use with Transit Having the
Vertical Arc cr Circle Divided
into SO" Spaces
_J
No. 3105
The use of this Stadia Reducer involves the using
of only such vertical angles as may be read without
the use of the vernier, and taking the vertical difference
and horizontal distance directly from the Reducer
slide. Results are given for these angles up to 30 de-
grees. The height cut on the rod by the middle wire
is noted for a correction.
The setting of the telescope to an angle marked by
an even division on the arc can be quickly and ac-
curately made with small chance of error, but if
desired the observer may mark one side of the arc and
let the distinguishing sign appear in the notes. For
example, he may mark the minus side red and then
an angle of — 10° could read red 10°.
The results given by the Reducer are those obtained
by the well-known stadia formula; where S = the stadia
distance, V = the measured vertical angle, D = the
horizontal distance and H = the distance of elevation
to the point sighted on the rod. Then D = (S -\- f -|- c)
cos2 V and H = (S -f- f + c) # sin. 2 V. These
formula? are practically correct for vertical heights up
to 15° and give results too small from 15° up to 30°
by the amounts given in the following table. Horizontal
distances are given practically correct up to 30°:
Angle of inclination 1S° 20° 23° 25° 27° 29° 30°
Error in vertical
heights 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07
These small quantities may be neglected in practice.
Stadia Reductions
After obtaining the stadia distance either by care-
fully adjusted wires or by a ratio table previously pre-
pared, add the f + c for obtaining the distance argu-
ment to be noted on the top of the Reducer case. Incline the telescope to the nearest division
on the vertical arc that will keep the middle wire on the rod, and note the rod reading that
the middle wire cuts for a final correction. Pull out the Reducer slide until the angle of arc
setting shows just above the case. On this same line on the slide and just above the distance
argument on the case find the difference of elevation to the noted rod reading cut by the
middle wire. Correct this by the rod reading to obtain the difference of elevation to the
station occupied by the rod. Without moving the slide find the horizontal distance on the
reverse side.
These tables are also to be used after the manner of using a traverse table. For example:
Suppose the distance argument is 962 and the telescope is afterward inclined to an arc reading
of — 11° at which angle the middle wire cuts the rod at 7.21. A foresight computation would
then be as follows:
ON THE REVERSE SIDE
For 900 867.2
For 60 57.8
For 2 1.9
ON THE FRONT SIDE
—7.21
Difference in elev. to station
—187.39
Horizontal distance 926.0
The Reducer admits of being used to carry out the decimals further than is shown in the
examples if greater accuracy is desired.

This is a very simple form of Stadia Slide Rule. When
the stadia rod reading and elevation of the telescope are
known the horizontal distance and vertical height can in
every case be obtained at once by one setting (always to
the left) of the slide. The rule can also be used for ordi-

scale corresponding to the lower scale of the rule and
resembling the A and B scale of the ordinary Mannheim
rule. Directions are printed on the rule.

THE MARCHANT CALCULATOR
HE value and importance of a first-class and trustworthy calcu-
lating machine to the civil engineer, construction engineer,
statistician and others who have considerable figure work to
handle has long been conceded.
Such a machine is a great labor and time saver, while the
relief it affords from wearying brain work is incalculable.
The Marchant Calculator (illustrated above) has met this long-felt want
and has filled the requirements and demands of engineers and statisticians
the world over.
Pencil and slide-rule methods of figuring problems are fast becoming
obsolete. The up-to-date mining or construction company can no longer
afford to have its employees spending time in unnecessary hand figuring
when machine calculation has been perfected to such a degree as in the
Marchant Calculator.
The Marchant is built on the rotary or drum principle. This principle
can be appreciated by technical men as the best for direct action functioning.
By using the drum principle all unnecessary action is eliminated, thus
insuring a minimum of expense in upkeep — springs, cams and other parts
used in machines of the flat-bed principle being entirely done away with.
Operation
Unlike many of the machines on the market at the present time, the
operation of the Marchant can be explained and taught to the novice in a
very short time, it being unnecessary to engage a special operator to per-
form even the most intricate problems — the Marchant motto being "Do it
yourself on a Marchant."
Proof
Every calculation performed on a Marchant is instantly proved, no
hidden complements to memorize, each factor and result is at all times
visible to the operator. It has been found that the proof feature saves
100 per cent of the time spent on rechecking, as is often the case when using
the old method of logarithms. Time and absolute accuracy are big features
and important ones when engineers are crowded with work.

THE MARCHANT CALCULATOR
Models
The latest model Marcliant, namely the Pony, was built with the idea of
producing a light, compact calculator of such convenient size that it could
be taken to the job or moved about as a piece of hand baggage, and yet
having all the well-known features of the standard model.
The Pony Model is built in two styles — with and without the top register
dial. The top register dial gives a complete check on all figures operating
on levers, a feature not to be overlooked by the engineer who is constantly
using constant multipliers and divisors.
Application
The Marchant will handle, in a fraction of the time ordinarily spent, all
kinds of engineering calculations. Traverses, averages, square root, cube
root, assays, assessments, formulae and tonnages can all be handled with
rapidity. A typical problem of the mining industry with which the average
engineer comes in contact can be explained thus:
DISTRIBUTION OF METALS
6948.82 tons ore assays as follows:
0.129 oz. gold per ton.
5.72 oz. silver per ton.
3.225% copper.
Weights Value
6948.82x0.129 = 896.398 oz. gold. 896.398 x20.6718 = $18530.16.
6948.82x5.72 = 39747.25 oz. silver. 39747.25 x 689 = $27385.86.
3.225% of 2000 lb. = 64.5 lb. per ton. 448198.89x0.155 = $69470.83.
6948.82x64.5 lb. = 448198.89 lb. copper.
SURVEYING CALCULATION
Bearing 34° 36' E. distance 295.76.
Nat. cosine 0.82314; sine 0.56784.
0.82314x295.76 = 243.452 northing.
0.56784 x 295.76 = 167.944 easting.
This traverse can be figured easily on a Marchant in forty seconds.
Operation: Place distance or 295.76 on machine as constant and multiply
by .82314. Leave figures on machine and interchange multiplier to .56784,
getting second result. Point off seven decimal places (5+2).
A fine testimonial from one of our largest users has this to say:
"The machine proved itself so valuable in making up our cost statements
and in verifying ore statements that we purchased five more Merchants.
These are used by our engineers in all calculations pertaining to tonnages,
averages, assays and percentages.
(Signed) "UTAH COPPER CO."
Some of the largest mining and engineering firms in this country and
foreign lands are using the Marchant every day on their problems.
Among prominent users the Marchant numbers as its endorsers: Utah
Iron and Steel Co., American Smelting and Refining Co., International
Smelting Co., Ray Consolidated Copper, Chino Copper.
Our representative will deem it a pleasure to demonstrate the wide scope
of flexibility of the Marchant. Descriptive literature and prices on request.

TRANSPARENT LETTERING ANGLES
The Lettering Angles are de-
signed to give a quick and easy
method of making accurately spaced
guide lines for lettering drawings.
There are six columns of holes,
the columns being subdivided into
groups of three holes, the holes of
each group being joined by scored
lines. The figure under each col-
umn denotes the height of the stand-
ard capital letters in thirty-seconds
of an inch. The standard spacings
between groups, also for the lower
case letters, are two-thirds the height
of capitals. The purpose of three
holes in each group is to enable the
drawing of three guide lines for
each line of lettering, when it is de-
sired to use both lower case and
capital letters.
The Lettering Angle is designed
to slide on the hypotenuse when
making standard spacings, but either
of the other two sides may be used
to get other spacings.
To use Lettering Angle, place the
pencil point through a hole in the
desired group, and slide along the
T-square or another triangle; then
place the pencil point through an-
other hole and slide back. The Let-
tering Angle is moved along very
easily by the pencil. The tapered
holes prevent the breaking of the
pencil point. The guide lines will
be very accurately spaced, and
drawn much more rapidly than by
laying off with scale or dividers.
The lines scored across the Let-
tering Angle enable one to obtain
angles of 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°
and 90° from either a 45° or 60°
triangle, by setting these scored lines
on horizontal or perpendicular lines
on the drawing board. The lines
drawn at right angles and parallel
to the hypotenuse are particularly
valuable when sketching or doing
work without the use of the
T-square, because it facilitates very
much the drawing of one line at
right angles to another. These lines
being scored on the under side of
Lettering Angle, throw no shadow, whereas the edge of the Lettering Angle does.
The bevel pickup makes the Lettering Angle very easy to handle,

pulleys, making a double lap along each end and back of the board but no
wire across the front. By crossing the wire at the back, the upper laps at
both ends must move forward and back simultaneously.
The ends of the wire are joined together at the back through a steel
spring. Both ends of the straightedge are attached to the upper wires at
the ends of the board by binding posts, thus making it possible to move one
end of the straightedge without moving the other a corresponding amount
in the same direction.
All pulleys, brackets and binding posts are made of brass, accurately
machined, highly polished, and lacquer finished.

The Suitcase Drawing Kit or Sketch Board consists of a drawing board,
a T-square, and two wooden triangles, one 45 degrees and one 30x60 degrees.
The board is lightly constructed and may easily be carried in a suitcase. It
is reinforced on the under side with cleats, one at each end, to prevent it
from warping. When not in use the triangles and T-square are held firmly
in place, by means of a small metal spring, under one of the end cleats. An
excellent drawing board for outside sketching, and for students.

THE "AVALON" DRAWING TABLE
With Roller Adjustment
No. 3520
The Avalon Drawing Table is very substantial and rigid. It is 36 inches high and can be
raised to 48 inches. This can be accomplished by turning the large handwheel. The slides are
carried between roller bearings on the standards, and move with perfect freedom from friction,
and without the grating sound of sliding metal surfaces.
The slides may be locked at any desired height, by means of a hand nut easily reached by
one hand while the wheel is being manipulated by the other. The tightening of this nut
releases the inner roller and substitutes a frictional bearing on bases attached to the standards,
forming an efficient clamp. In addition, by the same operation, the ends of the pinions are
locked against the faces of the slides, rendering their revolution impossible and doubling the
security of the clamp.

THE DREW METHOD FILING CABINET
The Drew Method of Filing as manufactured by us was primarily
conceived to overcome the lost floor space as occupied by the drawer
method and the inconvenience of taking drawings therefrom. Compact-
ness and accessibility are paramount. The drawer method of filing needs
no mention from us as to its faults, for anyone who has had to resort to
maps or drawings when filed in this manner knows of its shortcomings.
It can today only be regarded as obsolete.
Maps may be altered without detaching.
No. 3590— Illustration 1.
The Drew Method Filing Cabinet consists of a Cabinet 5 feet 10 inches
high and 15 inches deep, on which sections 18 or 36 inches in height may
be added as additional filing space is required.
The maps are attached to detachable spring rollers, or thin tracing paper
sketches can be conveniently filed in metal containers. An idea of the
filing capacity of the Drew Method Filing Cabinet can be gained when one
realizes how easily 15 maps of varying sizes and lengths can be mounted
in juxtaposition on each roller. When required the desired map can be
drawn from its position on the roller for examination, which the other maps
on the same roller will fall automatically out of the way. The front of the
cabinet, when lowered, serves as a table, on which the maps may con-
veniently be examined or altered, without detaching from the roller. When
fully wound, the maps are kept from unraveling by means of metal spring
clamps.
Thin tracing paper sketches are filed in the metal containers and can
easily be taken out for examination by means of pull-cords which slip under
the tracings.
The rollers and metal containers are made in two standard widths, 45
and 60 inches, and are hung about 5 inches apart on two endless chains
which revolve on geared wheels, so that any roller or container can be
instantly brought in position for examination. The rollers and metal con-
tainers are interchangeable and the desired number of each can be furnished.

This cabinet is 5 ft. 10 in. high, on
top of which rests a section 18 in.
high. Extra units may be added
to admit the heightening of the
cabinet when additional rollers are
needed.
The cabinet as shown embodies
36 rollers, on which maps of vary-
ing sizes and lengths can be
mounted.
Illustration No. 2
Illustration No. 3 shows how
conveniently the Drew Method
Filing Cabinet is lowered or
closed. The table drop is coun-
ter-balanced by heavy springs,
which control its action. When
fully opened the front of the
cabinet serves as a table con-
sisting of a pinewood board on
which alterations may be made
to maps without detaching them
from the rollers. The table may
be enlarged by bringing the
folding leaf into a lateral posi-
tion, where it is firmly held by
means of the two hinged sup-
ports. A footrest is also in-
serted for convenience wher,
working about the cabinet.
Illustration No. 3
The cabinets are built of either wood or steel and can be finished to
match the general scheme of an office.

THE BAXTER FILING SYSTEM
This system of filing of drawings was brought forth by F. K. Baxter,
of one of the Oil Companies of California.
Confronted with the old problem of limiting the space required for the
filing of the company's drawings, Mr. Baxter set about to conceive a method
of throwing out, rather than adding to, the already large number of drawing
cabinets in use by the company; floor and room space was in demand and
limited. Necessity certainly proved the mother of invention in this instance.
The illustration on opposite page shows over 1600 drawings of all sizes,
lengths and widths most conveniently hung in place. The drawings, nega-
tives or tracings are reinforced at the upper end with strips of heavy gummed
paper, which will support the heaviest maps without tearing, suitably
punched to be placed on pins suspended on rods fastened to traveling
carriages about 12 inches wide when closed and in series, permitting of a
separation to allow for the examination of the maps, thus affording acces-
sibility to the cabinet, as shown in illustration.
Invariably one wishes but to examine a drawing for the purpose of
ascertaining the location of some property or bearing. It is only necessary
to run the hand between drawing and the adjoining sheet (after locating the
desired copy by means of the index) to examine it at will or without in-
terference.
But should it be necessary to take the map from its place in the cabinet,
the gun-shaped hand (standing at end against folding door shown in illus-
tration) is inserted in back of the desired map and a small locking pin is
pulled down, opening the carriage. The maps on the one side remain locked
on the carriage by means of the gun-shaped hand while the rest travel
away from it. The map is then brought forth to be printed, examined or
retraced, as the case may necessitate. An index card is placed in the rack
in lieu of the map, on which is noted the whereabouts of the map proper.
When the map is no longer required, it is placed upon a suitable rack at end
of cabinet (as shown in illustration) until evening, when all are readily
placed in their proper location in the file, the person filing being guided by
the index number on the edge of the drawings.
A curtain shade is drawn down over the whole when not in use, the folding
iron gate is swung into place and the cabinet containing all the valuable
drawings is secure against molestation.
State your required capacity, the dimensions of your allowable or
suitable space and we will work out your problem and quote you accordingly.

The carriages can be purchased with required length of track singly
or in series, to which others can be added later, making it possible to install
them in vaults or other fireproof compartments. We can also quote the

For Contour Work *=^> \ czj
CHANGEABLE POINTS ^f~2~^
Uniform Lino. ^~3^
E0SIL Y CLEANED <^"4^
W/ll Not Flood ^-^
TRIANGULAR POINTS A <<^
The Worth Lettering Pen is the most recent innovation in pens par-
ticularly intended for the lettering of maps or the writing of showcards,
price tags, etc. The large capacity of the ink reservoir makes it superior
for drawing heavy border or long contour lines without refilling.
The improvements of the Worth Pen consist primarily of the inter-
changeability of the pen points, the convenient method of filling and the
rapidity with which it is cleaned.
The triangular shaped point finishes each letter with a square edge.
The Worth Lettering Pens are sold either separately or in sets, con-
sisting of one holder and six different size nibs, as per above illustration.
No. 3740 Worth Lettering Pen complete, consisting of 1 holder and
6 different size nibs, Nos. 1-6. Per set $3.50

volving circular eraser driven through
a flexible shaft 3 feet long by means
of a small motor, which may be at-
tached to any convenient lighting
socket and will operate on either
direct or alternating current. A clean-
ing rubber is arranged to touch the

The Bourgeois French Water Colors are put up in glass jars
containing more than twice as much as the whole pans sold by other
manufacturers at about the same price. They are moist and a slight
rubbing of the desired colors with a moistened brush is sufficient to
obtain the full richness of their tint. The colors are very brilliant
in tone.

This volume contains a number of computing diagrams giving rapid,
approximate solution of the common problems in the design and con-
struction of electric power systems and similar undertakings. Beginning
with the design of foundations, arches and reinforced concrete walls, the
strength and dimensions of all necessary material can be readily deter-
mined. Stadia readings can be quickly reduced, the capacity of pipes and
flumes easily found, the economic size of pipe selected and the weight of
material for wood-stave or steel pipe lines determined. Where steam is to
be used the horsepower of different sized engines can be mechanically
determined and the power transmitted by shafting, gearing and belting
calculated. Electric wiring problems and those of pole line construction are
worked simply and the comparative cost of power easily shown. All this
and more may be done without knowledge of mathematics by the simplest
mechanical process; no handbook nor slide rule nor table of logarithms is
necessary in any of the problems covered. Detailed explanations and typical
examples are given on the page opposite each of the diagrams.

nection with many such cases involving water and power companies make
his thoughts most valuable to anyone concerned with rate fixing. He con-
tends that accrued depreciation should not affect rates, he discusses the
relation of the water right valuation to rate base, and presents valuable
data on appraisal of real estate in utility service.
