     THEODOLITE SURVEYING LESSON 2

 PARTS OF THEODOLITE
1.     Tribrach and trivet
2.     Foot screws
3.     Upper plate
4.     Lower plate
5.     Upper clamping screw
6.     Lower clamping screw
7.     Horizontal plate bubble tubes
8.     Vertical plate bubble tube
9.     Vertical  plate clamping screw
10.  Telescope
11.  Standards or `A` frame
12.  Magnifying glasses

FUNCTIONS OF  PARTS OF THEODOLITE

1.     Tribrach and trivet
Supports the horizontal axis
Accommodates the foot screws

2.     Foot screws
                    To level the theodolite

3.     Upper plate
             It contains vernier scale to read horizontal angle (minutes and seconds)

4.     Lower plate
          Contains graduated  plate ( 0 to 360 degrees)

5.      Upper clamping screw
                        To clamp the upper plate

6.         Lower clamping screw
     To clamp the lower plate

7.       Telescope
         To see far away objects clearly

8.       Standard or `A ` frame
                    To support the horizontal axis

9.       Magnifying glasses
                      To see clearly the graduations on the Main  and Vernier scale

FUNDAMENTALS  LINES OF THEODOLITE
1.     Vertical axis
2.     Axes of plate levels
3.     Line of collimation (line of sight)
4.     Horizontal axis
5.     Bubble line of the altitude level (azimuth) or Telescope level

1.  VERTICAL AXIS
    It is the axis about which the Telescope can be rotated in a horizontal plane

2.   Axis of plate level
  It is the straight line tangential to the longitudinal curve of  plate level tube at its centre

3.   Line of Collimation
   It is an imaginary line joining the intersection of cross hairs and centre of object glass and its continuation. (Line of sight)

4.   Horizontal axis
     It is the axis about which the telescope can be rotated in vertical plane. (trunnion axis or transverse axis)

5.    Bubble line of the altitude level
   It is an imaginary line tangential to the vertical circle bubble at its  centre and its continuation. (Axis of telescope level)
