Triangulation rod

Giorgio Buccellati – November 2009

The triangulation rod was briefly described and illustrated already in the first excavation report, Mozan 1 = UMS 1 (1988) p. 41 and fig. 17 on p. 128. Since the device has served us well for these many years, I will add here a few remarks and some photographs.

Cf. also the related section in the “Grammar”.

{10 cms offset, movable stadia rod, laser sighter, tensing tapes, verticality of rod}.
