ii) Repetition Method.

This method is used for very accurate A B


work. In this method ,the same angle
is added several times mechanically
and the correct value of the angle is
obtained by dividing the accumulated
reading by the no. of repetitions.
The No. of repetitions made usually in
o
this method is six, three with the face
left and three with the face right .In HORIZONTAL ANGLE AOB
this way ,angles can be measured to a
finer degree of accuracy than that
obtainable with the least count of the
vernier.
To measure horizontal angle by A B
repetitions:-
i) Set up the theodolite at starting point
O and level it accurately.
ii) Measure The horizontal angle AOB.
iii) Loosen the lower clamp and turn the
o
telescope clock – wise until the object
(A) is sighted again. Bisect B HORIZONTAL ANGLE AOB
accurately by using the upper tangent
screw. The verniers will now read the
twice the value of the angle now.
ii) Repetition Method contd...
iv) Repeat the process until the angle is
repeated the required number of times A B
(usually 3). Read again both verniers .
The final reading after n repetitions
should be approximately n X (angle).
Divide the sum by the number of
repetitions and the result thus obtained
gives the correct value of the angle AOB.
o
v) Change the face of the instrument.
HORIZONTAL ANGLE AOB
Repeat exactly in the same manner and
find another value of the angle AOB. The
average of two readings gives the
required precise value of the angle AOB.
