Method of Reiteration

The document describes the method of repetition for determining horizontal angles between stations using a theodolite. Key steps include mounting the theodolite over a central station P and sighting stations A and B from both the right and left faces. Horizontal angles are observed and recorded in repetitions from both directions and averaged to determine the final angle between stations.

Method of Reiteration.

Instruments and Accessories Required: Theodolite, Pegs, Arrows,Ranging


rod, etc.

Procedure:
1. The theodolite is mounted on the tripod stand.
2. The theodolite is centered over an arbitrarily selected station P from where
the given stations can be sighted without any obstruction and the
instrument is levelled using the foot screws and the plate bubble is brought to the centre of the run.
3. The theodolite is set on the face right mode on the vernier A and the horizontal circle is initially set at 0°00’00” and
the station A is sighted .
4. The upper clamp screw is unclamped and the theodolite is swung to the right and the station B,C,D and A are
sighted in sequence and the central vertical cross hair is made to bisect these stations and the horizontal angles
on both the vernier A and B are observed and recorded. The observations are closed on the first station A.
5. The theodolite is then set on the face left mode and the vernier A on the horizontal circle is initially set at 180°00’00”
and the station A is sighted.
6. The upper clamp screw is unclamped and the theodolite is swung to the left and the stations D,C,B and A are
sighted in sequence and the central vertical cross hair is made to bisect these stations and the horizontal angles
on both the vernier A and B are observed and recorded. The observations are closed on the first station A.
7. The observations are recorded in the field book.
8. The mean values of the horizontal angles on vernier A and B are computed for every sighting and the horizontal
included angles are determined as the difference in successive mean values.
9. The average of the two sets of horizontal included angles observed one set each for the two initial settings of vernier
A is determined as the result.

central vertical cross hair is made to bisect this station and the horizontal angles on both the vernier A and B are
observed.
5. The measurement of horizontal angle between the stations A and B is repeated for the desired number of repetitions
and the cumulative horizontal angle observed in the last repetition is recorded.
6. The theodolite is then set on the face left mode and the vernier A on the horizontal circle is initially set at 180°00’00”
and the station B is sighted.
7. The upper clamp screw is unclamped and the theodolite is swung to the left and the station A is sighted and the
central vertical cross hair is made to bisect this station and the horizontal angles on both the vernier A and B are
observed.
8. The measurement of horizontal angle between the station A and B is repeated for the same number of repetitions
as earlier and the cumulative horizontal angle observed in the last repetition is recorded.
9. The observations are recorded in the field book.
10. The mean values of the horizontal angles on vernier A and B are computed for every sighting.
11. The actual horizontal angle between the given stations is determined by dividing the cumulative horizontal angle
by number of repetitions.
12. The average of the two actual horizontal angles observed on each for the two initial settings of vernier A is
determined as the result.
