EXPERIMENT 4 Traversing with Compass

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the session, students should be able to:
Find the Bearings of various station points and find the included angles.

EQUIPMENT/ APPARATUS:
Compass
Tripod
Tape
Arrows
PROCEDURE:
Let O be the instrument station selected from which all other points are visible.
Complete all station adjustments like setting, centering and leveling accurately.
Sight the object A looking through the prism vane, while the object vane is directed
towards the object.
Observe the bearing by looking through the prism. Enter the reading in the tabular
form.
Repeat the process at all objects stations B, C, D, etc. and enter the readings.

FORMULA:

Included angle: bearing of 2nd line - bearing of the first line.

(If the value is more than 180o then subtract the value from 360o)

RESULTS:

Station Bearing Distance
