Back in the early 70s as a young boy I worked with a surveyor both as a chain man and sometimes as the rod man doing land surveys around the mountains of Steamboat Springs - believe me it was hard work.

Easier and quicker method. Level up the tribrach first ensuring equal distance above and below the screw, normally an indentation in the screw. Now using the optical or laser move the theodolite and tripod together iover the station until central. Now go round each leg in turn, move the leg up or down untill the pond bubble is pointing towards the next leg you are going to. Eventually the pond bubble will be central after you make 3-5 adjustments. Now check the optical or laser plummit should be over the station. If it is not then loosen thr theodolite slightly from the tripod and slide it until its over your station and then re-tighten ( since you leveled the tribrach it shouldn't impact on your setup) You may have to adjust the fine level slightly. If your theodolite doesn't have a EDM dump it. It will make a good doorstop. Using strada went out in the 70's. Good luck and may the force be with you.

@willisandrews12 жыл бұрын
They were very clumsy in how they setup the instrument. Only one person should handle the instrument, not at the same time. Also, the plumb bob is impractical in this video. Plumb bobs still have practical uses, but that is why there is an optical plumb on these instruments, and it is even used in this video. Newer instruments have a laser plumb, but if there isn't one, position the tip of your foot near the point and rough locate it through the optical plumb.

They take to much time to set up the instrument, in school they use to test us for exams that you must put the instrument less than 5 minutes completely lvl on a pin if 5 min pass you fail, today i can put a instrument in 1 min, in time working as a surveyor you discover your own technique how to put your instrument fast and perfect. And your learn stuff from other surveyors who have bean in the business for long time, the knowledge they have is amazing, you learn stuff that in school dont teach you, i mean they have bean in time we’re technology dint even exist , every thin was done manually. Shit try to calculate a work without calculator, today is so easy you do all your work on pc laptop or iPad and you pass you information on you total station or data collector and you good to go, they dint have laptop or pc or ipad or autocad or survey software nothing every thing done on paper 📝 all calculation done on field book.

1. Set the tripod over point. 2. Secure theodolite to tripod. 3. Raise tripod to your comfort height and press ONE leg only in. 4. Pick up the remaining two legs, look through plummet eyepiece for monument and center. 5. Press remaining legs in. 6. Level instrument by extending legs with fisheye level. 7. Check plummet and slide the instrument to center. 8. Level to perfect. 9. Turn 180 and half level the error. You're now level and centered. 10. Measure SLOPE angle to monument, NOT SOIL.

I'm confused. If point A is the spot where a young woman is seen holding the long measuring stick, and point B is the location of the theodolite, and point C is the spot where a young man is holding the long measuring stick then why does the narrator refer to point C as point B? At 5:20 the theodolite is turned to the right. That's point C. Yet, the narrator says point B.

I’m surprised that you didn’t use the plate level to ensure that the theodolite is truly level. The bull’s eye level does not give such an accurate level although it might be good enough to level the instrument within the range of its automatic compensator (if fitted).
@davidchatterton63712 жыл бұрын
If an automatic compensator was in use, the word Tilt would appear on the display. Since it isn’t, that is all the more reason to use the plate level to complete the levelling of the instrument.

A quick question, if you know the answer... I have a theodolite with a laser plummet. However, the tripod has a plumb bob hook inside the tripod screw. This works well for when I attach a plumb bob. However, this interferes with the laser dot which becomes quite blurry and poorly defined. What do people do in this situation?
@lashart2002 Жыл бұрын
I was a surveyor for over 7 years. I never used the plumb bob to center the theodolite. If you set up the transit often enough you don’t need it. Therefore no blurry view.
