The tube, when required for use, is filled with water (coloured with lake or indigo), till it nearly reaches to the necks of the bottles, which are then corked for the convenience of carriage. On setting the stand tolerably level by the eye, these corks are both withdrawn, which must be done carefully and FRENCH REFLECTINQ-LEVEL.
Seite 171 - THE first adjustment is that of the line of collimation; that is, to make the intersection of the cross wires coincide with the axis of the cylindrical rings on which the telescope turns : it is known to be correct, when...

Next turn the telescope a quarter round, that it may lie over the other two screws, and make it level by moving them, and the adjustment will be complete. Before making observations with this instrument, the adjustments should be carefully examined and rectified, after which the screw B should never be touched ; the parallel plate-screws alone must be used for...
