Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an optical device by means of which the direction of a graticule may be measured with high precision. To this end, the graticule is illuminated by a spotlight and the light reflecting from it collected by a theodolite telescope and a locating detector. To increase the range and to improve accuracy of measurement, use is made not of a conventional spherical metal graticule but a sphere of transparent material the refractive index n of which is greater than the square root of 2 and smaller than 2.
