The theodolite is an instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles that is more precise than a magnetic compass. It can measure angles to an accuracy of 10-20 seconds whereas a compass is only accurate to 30 minutes. The theodolite is used to measure horizontal and vertical angles when objects are at a distance or elevation where more precise measurements are needed. The method of surveying that uses a theodolite to measure angles is called theodolite surveying. The theodolite can be used to measure angles, bearings, distances, elevations, set out curves, and for mapping and construction applications.

1. The document discusses theodolite surveying, which is a method of surveying that uses a theodolite to measure horizontal and vertical angles.
2. A theodolite can be classified based on its horizontal axis as either a transit or non-transit theodolite, and based on how it reads angles as a vernier, micrometer, or electronic digital theodolite.
3. Common steps in using a transit vernier theodolite include setting it up over a station point, leveling it, and measuring horizontal and vertical angles through methods such as general, repetition, and reiteration.
This document provides an overview of theodolites and their use in surveying. It discusses how theodolites are used to measure both horizontal and vertical angles. A theodolite is an instrument designed specifically for angular measurement and is one of the most versatile survey equipment. Modern theodolites can measure angles to within 0.1 seconds of arc. The document describes the basic components of an optical theodolite, including the tribrach, horizontal and vertical circles, telescope, and methods for setting up and using a theodolite to obtain angle measurements.

2. INTRODUCTION
Theodolite is used to measure the horizontal and
vertical angles.
Theodolite is more precise than magnetic compass.
Magnetic compass measures the angle up to as
accuracy of 30’. However a vernier theodolite
measures the angles up to and accuracy of 10’’, 20”.
There are variety of theodolite vernier, optic,
electronic etc.
4. VERNIER THEODOLITE
Vernier theodolite is
also known and
transit.
A transit theodolite is
one in which the
telescope can be
rotated in a vertical
plane.

5. Main parts of a theodolite
Levelling head (7): Levelling
head is used to attach the
instrument to tripod and attach
the plumb bob along the vertical
axis of the instrument.
6. MAIN PARTS-2
Lower plate/circle plate (18): an annular
horizontal plate with the graduations
provided all around, from 0 to 360°, in a
clockwise direction. The graduations are in
degree divided in to 3 parts so that each
division equals to 20 min.
Horizontal angles are measured with this
plate.
The size of the theodolite is defined by the
diameter of horizontal circle.
Upper plate (17): Horizontal plate of
smaller diameter provided with two verniers.
on diametrically opposite parts of its
circumference. These verniers are designated
as A and B. They are used to read fractions
of the horizontal circle plate graduations.
The verniers are graduated in 20 min and
each minute is divided in 3 to 5 parts making
least count 20” or 10”.
7. MAIN PARTS-3
Clamps and tangent screws (15, 19):
There are two clamps and associated
tangent screws with the plate. These screws
facilitate the motion of the instruments in
horizontal plane.
Lower clamp screw locks or releases the
lower plate. When this screw is unlocked
both upper and lower plates move together.
The associated lower tangent screw allows
small motion of the plate in locked position.
The upper clamp screw locks or releases the
upper vernier plate. When this clamp is
released the lower plate does not move but
the upper vernier plate moves with the
instrument. This causes the change in the
reading. The upper tangent screw allows
the fine adjustment.
8. MAIN PARTS-4
Plate level (5):
Spirit level with the bubble and
graduation on glass cover.
A single level or two levels fixed in
perpendicular direction may be
provided.
The spirit level can be adjusted with
the foot screw (21) of the levelling
head (7).
Telescope (10): The essential parts of the
telescopes are eye-piece, diaphragm with
cross hairs, object lens and arrangements
to focus the telescope.
9. MAIN PARTS-5
Vertical circle (1): circular plate
supported on horizontal axis of the
instrument between the A-frames.
Vertical circle has graduation 0-90 in
four quadrants. Vertical circle moves
with the telescope when it is rotated
in the vertical plane.
Vertical circle clamp and tangent
screw (11): Clamping the vertical
circle restrict the movement of
telescope in vertical plane.
Altitude level (2): A highly sensitive
bubble is used for levelling
particularly when taking the vertical
angle observations.
12. Important Definition
Changing face
Revolving the telescope by 180° in vertical plane
about horizontal axis
Again revolving the telescope in horizontal plane

17. Measurement of horizontal angle
Measurement of Angle ABC
The instrument is set over B.
The lower clamp is kept fixed and upper clamp is
loosened.
Turn the telescope clockwise set vernier A to 0° and
vernier B to approximately 180°.
Upper clamp is tightened and using the upper tangent
screw the vernier A and B are exactly set to 0° and
180°.
Upper clamp is tightly fixed, lower one is loosened and
telescope is directed towards A and bisect the ranging
rod at A.
Tightened the lower clamp and turn the lower tangent
screw to perfectly bisect ranging rod at A.
Loose the upper clamp and turn the telescope clockwise
to bisect the ranging rod at C tightened the upper clamp
and do the fine adjustment with upper tangent screw.
The reading on vernier A and B are noted. Vernier A
gives the angle directly and vernier B gives the reading
by subtracting the initial reading (180°) from final

Reiteration method
22. Read assignment (N. N. Basak, S. K. Duggal)
Ranging and extending a line
Method of traversing
Included angle method
Deflection angle method
Fast angle (or magnetic bearing method)
23. Computation of latitude and departure
Latitude of a line is the distances measured
parallel to the north south of the North-South
direction
Departure of the line is the distance measured
parallel to the east-west direction
25. PROBLEM-1
While making survey through the woods, a surveyor with the hand
compass started from point A and walked a thousand steps in the direction
S67⁰W and reached a point B. then he changed his direction and walked
512 steps in the direction N10 E and reached a point C then again he⁰
changed his direction and walked 15 04 steps in the direction S65 E and⁰
reached a point D as shown in Figure Now the surveyor wants to return to
the starting point A. In which direction should he move and how many
steps should he take.
26.
27. Sources of errors in theodolite
Instrumental errors
Non adjustment of plate bubble
Line of collimation not being perpendicular to
horizontal axis
Horizontal axis not being perpendicular to vertical
axis
Line of collimation not being parallel to axis of
telescope
Eccentricity of inner and outer axes
Graduation not being uniform
Verniers being eccentric
28. . Personal errors
Natural errors
High temperature causes error due to irregular refraction.
High winds cause vibration in the instrument, and this may
lead to wrong readings on verniers
Closing error
29. Balancing of traverse
Bowditch’s rule:
Total error is distributed in proportion to the lengths of the
traverse legs.
31. PROBLEM
Calculate the latitudes, departures and closing
error for the following traverse conducted at
allahabad. Adjust also the traverse using
Bowditch’s rule.
