Papua New Guinea DQL-2A Pocket Theodolite

This instrument determines the azimuth of a target by reading the magnetic needle against a graduated dial. In addition, it is equipped with a plumb-bob-type clinometer; when used in conjunction with the slope-angle scale on the sighting telescope, it can measure various slope angles of the target. The pocket theodolite is primarily used for measuring geological attitudes—namely strike, dip direction, and dip angle—as well as for preliminary topographic surveys, including determining position (i.e., intersection points), measuring slope angles, and establishing horizontal planes; it can also be used to measure verticality and to produce topographic maps. The front face of the instrument body is fitted with a gear shaft for adjusting the magnetic declination. A 60-mm scale is engraved on the side of the instrument body for drafting purposes. This instrument features a compact structure, small size, light weight, portability, simple operation, reliable accuracy, and stable performance.
