Q,TJBE3ST & CO., 924 Chestnut and 925 Sansom Street, Philadelphia. 1883. TA JffS Please let friends interested in Science see this Catalogue, NOTICE. The Optical Instrument business, of which this catalogue is an exponent, was established twenty-four years ago by Mr. James W. Queen, of this city, who had been previously connected for more than a quarter of a century with the oldest Optical firm in the United States. Though small and unpretending as his store and business were at the outset, Mr. Queen's thorough knowledge of the business, together with a full appreciation of the wants of those engaged in scientific research, soon convinced the community that his was an institution of great Value; and from this small beginning rapidly grew the largest and most comprehensive establishment of the kind not only in the United States, but in the world. The character and uses of scientific instruments are so varied and the stock so large as to require, in our establishment, their division into special departments, each of which is under the oversight of a person competent, both by his knowledge and business ability, to keep the instruments of his department up to the highest standard. Our Spectacle Department has its competent manager and corps of assistants ; and the reputation the house now enjoys is a national one for perfection of its Spectacles and Eye-glasses, and precision of adaptation to the form of the face and defects of the sight. Our Microscope Department is now under as good management as the importance of that branch of the optical science demands, and at present we are confident that no other establishment can boast of as efficient oversight and so large and varied an assortment of instruments and accessories. Our Mathematical Instrument Department also has its separate management and corps of assistants. The catalogue of 144 pages, representing that branch, is quite a complete manual of the instruments and their use. Our Magic Lantern Department comprises every form of magic lantern, from the most insignificant toy to the most complete scientific instrument with accessories for lecture illustrations. The catalogue of 116 pages, besides describing the various instruments, contains a full list of photographic transparencies and colored pictures of scenery, statuary, celebrated paintings and engravings, scientific illustrations and diagrams. Our Philosophical Department comprises all instruments designed for demonstrat ing the laws, principles, and facts of physical science. The catalogue of 200 pagee contains an elaborate list of apparatus. Our Meteorological Department embraces Thermometers, Barometers, Anemome ters, Rain Gauges, Mining Lamps, etc. The catalogue for this department is now in press, and will shortly be ready for distribution. It is our intention to make and sell none but perfect instruments in each of the departments of our business, and to supply to Our customers the article or articles ordered or that will be best suited for the purposes wished to be accomplished.

  • Maps and Diagrams. Their Compilation and Construction
    ~r HJ.Mo Mouse andHR Wilkinson MAPS AND DIAGRAMS 8 his third edition does not form a ramatic departure from the treatment of artographic methods which has made it a standard text for 1 years, but it has developed those aspects of the subject (computer-graphics, quantification gen- erally) which are likely to progress in the uture. While earlier editions were primarily concerned with university cartography ‘ourses and with the production of the- matic maps to illustrate theses, articles and books, this new edition takes into account the increasing number of professional cartographer-geographers employed in Government departments, planning de- partments and in the offices of architects pnd civil engineers. The authors seek to ive students some idea of the novel and xciting developments in tools, materials, echniques and methods. The growth, mounting to an explosion, in data of all inds emphasises the increasing need for discerning use of statistical techniques, nevitably, the dependence on the com- uter for ordering and sifting data must row, as must the degree of sophistication n the techniques employed. New maps nd diagrams have been supplied where ecessary.

  • Surveying Is the Art of Determining the Relative Position
    CE6304-SURVEYING-I UNIT-I INTRODUCTION AND CHAIN SURVEYING DEFINITION: Surveying is the art of determining the relative positions of points on, above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements of distance, direction & elevation. Plane Survey: Surveying which the mean surface of earth regarded as plain surface and not curve it really is known as plain surveying. A following Assumption are made: (i) A level line is considered a strait line thus the plump line at a point is parallel plump line at any after point. (ii) The angles between two such lines that intersect is a plain angle and not a sphere angle. (iii) The meridian through any two points parallel. (iv) When we deal with only a small portion earths surface the above assumptions can justify. (v) The error induced for a length of an 18.5 kms it‘s only 0.0152 ms grater than sub dented chord 1.52 cm. Geodetic survey : Survey is which the shape (curvature) of the earth surface is taken in the account a higher degree of precision is exercised in linear and angular measurement is tanned as Geodetic Survey. A line connecting two points is regarded as an arc. Such surveys extend over large areas PRINCIPLES OF SURVEYING Location of a point by measurement from 2 points of reference Working from whole to part. Location of a point by measurement from 2 points of reference There should be 2 points of reference say P & Q P,Q are the ground reference points and permanent points.

A vernier scale lets one read more precisely from an evenly divided A set of vernier calipers. straight or circular measurement scale. It is fitted with a sliding secondary scale that is used to indicate where the measurement lies when it is in-between two of the marks on the main scale. It was invented in its modern form in 1631 by the French mathematician Augustus Vernier (1580–1637). In some languages, this device is called a nonius, which is the Latin name of the Portuguese astronomer and mathematician Pedro Nunes (1492–1578) who invented the principle. Another theory is that this name is from the Latin "nona" meaning "9" and therefore "nonius" means a "ninth" of the main scale. (Note - Wiki contains an entry for Pierre Vernier, but not Augustus Vernier - also, many sources list his birth and death dates as 1584 and 1638 - There may be an error in the current entry). Verniers are common on sextants used in navigation, scientific instruments and machinists' measuring tools (all sorts, but especially calipers and micrometers) and on theodolites used in surveying. When a measurement is taken by mechanical means using one of the above mentioned instruments, the measure is read off a finely marked data scale (the "fixed" scale, in the diagram). The measure taken will usually be between two of the smallest gradations on this scale.
