Because of this, if the horizontal crosshair of the instrument is lower than the base of the rod, the surveyor will not be able to sight the rod and get a reading. The rod can usually be raised up to 25 feet high, allowing the level to be set much higher than the base of the rod.

   Stadia marks on a crosshair while viewing a metric levelling rod. The top mark is at 1.500 m and the lower is at 1.345 m.

One pair are on the horizontal centreline and the other on ...
