Translation for 'theodolite' from English to Russian

theodolite

теодолит {м}инстр.спец.

• This was the "transit theodolite". This type of theodolite was developed from 18th century astronomical Transit instruments used to measure accurate star positions.
• Due to his bad experiences with the high mountain triangulation with a theodolite of conventional design, he tried in 1905 to design a new theodolite with rotable circle with coincidence circle-readings.
• A theodolite is used to measure the angle between indicators on the two ends of the subtense bar.
• The optical level should not be confused with a theodolite, which can also measure angles in the vertical plane.
• Leonard Digges described a theodolite that measured horizontal angles in his book "A geometric practice named Pantometria" (1571).

• A total station (TS) or total station theodolite (TST) is an electronic/optical instrument used for surveying and building construction.
• He also created a triangulation network over the entire area to be covered by taking readings from church towers and similar high places using a theodolite made by Jonathan Sisson (inventor of the telescopic-sighted theodolite) to measure the observed angle between two other prominent locations.
• A theodolite can be considerably more accurate if used correctly, but it is also considerably more difficult to use correctly.
• There had been several delays during the countdown as liquid oxygen vapors obscured an optical window in the SA-6's instrument unit, so that a ground-based theodolite could not see it.
• Antoine was responsible for streamlining techniques in geodesy, along with inventing a new theodolite for measuring angles.

• Gimbal lock can occur in gimbal systems with two degrees of freedom such as a theodolite with rotations about an azimuth and elevation in two dimensions.
• the accuracy of the gyro-theodolite. Where this extra precision is not required, the gyro-theodolite is able to produce a result quickly without the need for night observations.
• The missile was positioned or laid in on a pre-surveyed site with a system of two theodolites and a target card.
• The visual angle [...] can be measured directly using a theodolite placed at point [...].
