From this it may be shown that the azimuth at A of the geodetic joining AB is not the same as the astronomical azimuth at A of B or that determined by the vertical plane A[alpha]B.
The azimuth of the geodetic at Cadiz differs 20" from that of the vertical plane, which is the astronomical azimuth.
So the orientation or general azimuth of the whole is inferred from all the azimuth observations.
The vertical plane containing A' and B' also contains A but not B: it must therefore be rotated through a small azimuth in order to contain B.
The instrument is supported on a strong tripod, fitted with levelling screws; to this tripod is fixed the azimuth circle and a long vertical steel axis.
But the great theodolite, with its vertical circle and telescope adapted to the observation of the heavenly bodies, as used by nautical astronomers, commonly called an alt-azimuth instrument, is almost an observatory per se.

The instrument is mounted on an iron base plate, which is fitted with azimuth adjustment (not shown in cut).
If the polar axis is set vertical and the worm wheel unclamped, the instrument is transformed into an alt-azimuth mounting.
When all this is done, the result ought to be the same as if the altitude and azimuth of the point of the cloud had been taken directly by an ordinary angle measuring instrument.
There was also used a species of registering theodolite which, when kept pointed at the balloon, automatically traced on paper its azimuth and angular altitude.
In the case of a horizontal line the azimuth is its deviation from the north or south direction.
The bearings given by the azimuth compass, whilst the ship was aground, were as under: Dungeness light house, S.
Johnston-Lavis measured the azimuth of the wave-paths at sixty-five places, and at about one-third of these was able to make two or more observations.
The direction EP gives the azimuth of the wave-path, or its direction along the surface of the earth.
For this purpose the artillery officer uses aiming circles, azimuth instruments, battery commander telescopes, prismatic compasses, plotting boards, and other instruments.
The observer turned the parabloid on its universal mount until the sound was equalized in his ears, and then the exact direction of the airplane would be indicated by the azimuth and elevation pointers on the machine.
The variation of the compass, determined with great precision by the transit azimuth instrument, was 52' westerly.
Lay off the altitude difference along the azimuth either away from or toward the body observed, according as to whether the true altitude, observed by sextant, is less or greater than the calculated altitude.
Since azimuthis N 74° E, Line of Position is N 16° W.
Put this in your Note-Book: To find an azimuth of the sun: Note the time of taking the azimuth by chronometer.
In your Azimuth Table, find the azimuth for the proper "t," L and D.
Estimate, as closely as possible, the longitude you will be in the next morning when the local apparent time is as just found in the Azimuth Tables.
Today I tried to show you how to find yourazimuth from the azimuth tables for any hour of the day.
In using Sun Azimuthtables always take "t" from the P.
Latitude of the preceding sight and the azimuth or bearing of the preceding sight (always expressed as a bearing of less than 90°, old compass reading) enter Table 47 for the correct Longitude Factor.
Azimuth Tables to get the true bearing corresponding to the compass bearing recently observed.
Put in your Note-Book: The azimuth of a heavenly body is the angle at the zenith of the observer formed by the observer's meridian and a line drawn to the center of the body observed.
While the drivers were packing and lashing their loads, which now weighed nearly 600 pounds, I wrote a report to the Chief, and took an azimuth observation to determine the direction of our course.
We were very lucky in the weather during this depot work; the sun came out all at once, and we had an excellent opportunity of taking some good azimuth observations, the last of any use that we got on the journey.
A box containing a long compass needle and having two feet with inverted V's is placed to rest on the axle of the coil, and the instrument is turned in azimuth till the compass needle points to a lubber line on the box.
When making a measurement the azimuth circle is first set horizontal, a striding level placed on the trunnions which carry the ring being used to indicate when the adjustment is complete.
The supports for the needle, and a box to protect the needle from draughts, as well as the vertical circle, can be rotated about a vertical axis, and their azimuth read off on a horizontal divided circle.
A modification of the system consists in grouping two or more lenses together separated by equal angles, and filling the remaining angle in azimuth by a reinforcing mirror or screen.
Otter" screens are used in cases when it is desired to produce different periods of occultations in two or more positions in azimuth in order to differentiate sectors marking shoals, &c.
Previous to 1850 all apparatus were designed to emit light of equal power in everyazimuth either constantly or periodically.
Weeder, "The 14-monthly period of the motion of the Pole from determinations of the azimuth of the meridian marks of the Leiden observatory" (Kon.
These guns can be loaded at any angle of elevation orazimuth or while in motion.
The variation of the compass by an azimuthwas 58 deg.
By an azimuthof the sun the variation of the compass, 10 deg.
They could state the whole angle as read from the compass, which would then be the true azimuth of station "B," or they could note the true bearing of the line A-B.
The boys decided to use the true azimuth in their data.
We had a dipping needle mounted on Meyer's plan, a plain needle very delicately fitted for observing the diurnal variation; two of Kater's azimuth compasses, and a pocket compass for each officer.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "azimuth" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
