2. Goniometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goniometer

   A protractor is a measuring instrument, typically made of transparent plastic, for measuring angles. Some protractors are simple half-discs or full circles. More advanced protractors, such as the bevel protractor, have one or two swinging arms, which can be used to help measure the angle. Most protractors measure angles in degrees (°).

3. Angle gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_gauge

   An angle gauge is a tool used by foresters to determine which trees to measure when using a variable radius plot design in forest inventory. Using this tool a forester can quickly measure the trees that are in or out of the plot. An angle gauge is similar to a wedge prism though it must be held a fixed distance from the eye to work properly ...

4. Sliding T bevel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_T_bevel

   T bevel with protractor and dividers In use. A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square [1] is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. . Different from the square, which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle, the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it on anoth

5. Theodolite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodolite

   There is a long history of theodolite use in measuring winds aloft, by using specially-manufactured theodolites to track the horizontal and vertical angles of special weather balloons called ceiling balloons or pilot balloons (pibal). Early attempts at this were made in the opening years of the nineteenth century, but the instruments and ...

6. Autocollimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocollimator

   An autocollimator is an optical instrument for non-contact measurement of angles. They are typically used to align components and measure deflections in optical or mechanical systems. An autocollimator works by projecting an image onto a target mirror and measuring the deflection of the returned image against a scale, either visually or by ...

7. Total station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_station

   Most total station instruments measure angles by means of electro-optical scanning of extremely precise digital bar-codes etched on rotating glass cylinders or discs within the instrument. The best quality total stations are capable of measuring angles within a standard deviation of 0.5 arc-seconds. Inexpensive "construction grade" total ...
