Definitions of technical terms used for theodolite.

 1. Vertical axis:-

This is a axis about which the instrument cam be rotated in a horizontal plane. 

2. Horizontal axis:-

It is a axis about which the telescope can be rotated in vertical plane. 



3. Line of sight:-

Line padding through the intersection of cross-hairs and the optical center of objective and its continuation. 

4. Axis of level tube:-

Axis tangentially to the longitudinal curve of the bubble tube at its center. 

5. Centering:-

The process of setting the theodolite just over the station is known as centering. 

6. Transiting:-

Transiting is the process of turning telescope 180 degree in vertical plane about trunnion axis. 
  • It is also known as plunging or reversing because in this process line of sight reversed. 

7. Swinging:-

Swinging is the prices of turning the telescope in horizontal plane. 
  • When telescope turn in clockwise direction it is known as right swing. 
  • While telescope turn in anti-clockwise direction it is known as left swing. 

8. Face left observation:-

If the face of vertical circle is left of the observer, that observation is known as face left observation. 

9. Face right observation:-

When the face of vertical circle is in right side of the observer, then that observation is known as face right observation. 

10. Changing face:-

It is a process of turning the telescope right to left or vice- versa. 

11. Telescope Normal:-

Telescope is said to be normal or direct, when the face of vertical circle is left and bubble is up.



12. Telescope Inverted:-

Telescope is said to be inverted or reversed when, the face of vertical circle is right and the bubble is down.
