The article deals with the principle of using gyrotheodolite in connection and orientation measurements. It describes orientation measurements with gyrotheodolite, provides basic information about the device and explains how it works. The first part describes gyrotheodolite and methods of determining astronomical true north. The workflow for measurement and subsequent data processing is described below. In the second part, two orientation measurements are described and processed. Finally, the accuracy achieved and the possibility to use the device for activities other than mine measurement are assessed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
