This evening the variation from azimuthswas 1° 25' east, taken when the ship's head was S.
The true variation on board the ship, deduced from azimuths taken at anchor two miles to the north-east, and using the compasses No.
Azimuths observed from the binnacle, when the ship's head was between S.
Off Point Drummond, about fifteen leagues to the north of where the variation 1° 39' east was observed with the ship's head at south, both azimuths and an amplitude had been taken with the same compass.
The ranges are read in scales of 10-yard steps, and the azimuths for each .
The azimuths converge towards the same region as in 1881, but the area covered by their intersections is larger.
These azimuths are twelve in number, and it is worthy of notice that they all intersected the crater of Epomeo, while half of them passed within a few hundred yards of Fontana.
The azimuths again intersect within an elliptical area, which, according to the Commission, differs little from the central region of the earthquake (Fig.
The six exceptional angles of emergence come from the district of divergent azimuths to the south of Epomeo.
Three of the corresponding azimuths pass within one-quarter of a mile from the centre of Fontana, and none of the other three more than three-quarters of a mile from the same point.
He also notices that most of the azimuths converge towards Casamenella, and intersect within an elongated area.
Graduation of the instrument: Set up the instrument over a given point and orient it from sufficient data; direct the telescope successively on a series of points and read their azimuths with accuracy.
The azimuthsof a fixed target from the primary and secondary station being given, locate the corresponding point on the board, and give its azimuths and range, from the directing gun or directing point.
The azimuths of a fixed target from the primary and secondary stations being given, locate the corresponding point on the board and determine its range and azimuth from the directing gun or point.
Draw on the contoured map a series of equidistant circles, concentric with the station, intersected by radial lines so disposed that the sines of their azimuths are in arithmetical progression.
Here it is supposed that azimuths are measured from north by east, and longitudes eastwards.
If the objection be raised that not the geodetic azimuths but the astronomical azimuths are observed, it is necessary to consider that the observed vertical sections do not correspond to points on the sea-level but to elevated points.
The difference of the azimuths of the vertical section AB and of the geodetic AB, i.
This correction is therefore of greater importance in the case of observedazimuths and horizontal angles than in the previously considered case of the astronomical and the geodetic azimuths.
The computation of the geodetic from the astronomical azimuths has been given above.
The observed azimuths and horizontal angles must therefore also be corrected in the case, where it is required to dispense with geodetic lines.
Azimuths were obtained this evening that gave the variation 58 degrees 45 minutes West, which is greater than is laid down in the charts, or than the officers of Hudson's Bay ships have been accustomed to allow.
I found the variation by severalazimuths to be 31' E.
Very elaborate observations have been made during several Arctic expeditions of the azimuths of the summits of auroral arcs.
Also, whilst the mean azimuths deduced from the observations between 6 A.
From azimuths with the surveying compass when the head was S.
Whilst beating off the entrance, I had 7° 52' east variation, from azimuths with the surveying compass when the head was N.
At our anchorage on the west side of the bay, Mr. Flinders took azimuths when the ship's head was S.
Azimuths were taken, and the bearing of Mount Westall, distant thirty-four miles, was set at S.
The variation amongst the Barrier Reefs has not been mentioned; but five azimuths and amplitudes were taken between the 6th, p.
In order to increase the intensity of lights in certain azimuths T.
Tomorrow we will start to use azimuths in working out sights for lines of position by the Marc St. Hilaire Method.
Note to Instructor: Spend the rest of the time in finding sun azimuths in the tables by working out such examples as these: 1.
We are taking up sun azimuths today in order to get a thorough understanding of them before beginning a discussion of the Marc St. Hilaire Method which we will have tomorrow.
Azimuths are named from the latitude in and toward the E in the A.
The same holds true for moon, star or planet, but in this lecture we will say nothing of the star azimuths for, in some other respects, they are found somewhat differently from the sun azimuths.
At Taiya Inlet I got my first observation, and deduced the azimuths of my courses up to that point.
A little after sun rise I took several Azimuths with 4 Needles belonging to the Azimuth Compass, the mean result of which gave the Variation of 7 degrees 56 minutes East.
Took several Azimuths both in the Evening and the Morning which gave the Variation 14 degrees 15 minutes Easterly.
Variation per Several Azimuths 21 degrees 0 minutes East, which is much less than we have yet found it upon this Coast; yet I am satisfied with the Goodness of the Observations.
Variation by several azimuthsto be 22 degrees 24 minutes East.
The variation of the needle, by the medium of five azimuths and one amplitude, was 24° 30' E.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "azimuths" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
