Usage of an old theodolite (Kern K1-S)
Hi!
I have recently gotten hold of an old theodolite (just for hobby use). I have used total stations, gnss and other digital instruments a lot, but the old analog stuff is a bit unknown to me.
The instrument in question is a Kern K1-S, with the optional DM-501 distance measuring unit(!).
I am trying to figure out how to make a reading of the angle measurements, for example in the attatched picture I can make out a vertical angle of 298,32 gon (grad) and a horisontal angle of 130,16 gon. But aren’t you able to make a reading with a finer precision than that?
Also the bottom scale with the arrow pointing left is a bit puzzling to me, what do you do with that one?
