A Phaidon Christie's collectors monograph. Literaturverz. S. 215 - 217 - with 260 illustrations, including 16 in colour - Astronomers, navigators and surveyors have always had one need in common-to be able to measure accurately angles between distant objects. The instruments they have used to do this, although adapted to different purposes, have all worked by means of a sight moving over a divided circle - a circle or arc carrying a scale of degrees. It is such mathematical instruments, forming a coherent group both scientifically and historically, that are the subject of this book. These instruments were among the finest of their times, setting the highest standards of precision and accuracy. Dr Bennett describes them and their historical development from Antiquity to the twentieth century, and also discusses the scientists and practitioners who designed, made and used them, and the economic and commercial, as well as the scientific, conditions that stimulated their production. A glossary of technical terms, a full bibliography and an index of leading makes are provided. The instruments themselves appeal to collectors, historians and scientists. Beautiful objects in their own right, finely made of brass, mahogany, ivory and silver, they also had important theoretical and practical functions. They include quadrants, sextants, octants, sundials, cross-staffs, ring-dials, marine and surveying compasses, theodolites, clinometers, mining dials, telemeters and many other specialized instruments.
