6. CLOSED TRAVERSE
(Included Angle Method)
AIM : To conduct a traverse and do the closed traverse computations.
APPARATUS:
1.Theodolite
2.Tripod
3.Ranging Rod
Included Angle Method :
This method is most suitable for closed traverse. The traverse may be taken in clockwise or anticlockwise order.
Generally a closed traverse is taken in the anticlockwise direction. In this method the bearing of the initial line is
taken. After this the included angles of the traverse are measured. These angles may be exterior or interior.
Procedure:
(i)The theodolite is set-up and centred over A. The plate bubble is levelled.
(ii)Vernier A is set at 0 and vernier B at 180.The upper clamp is fixed.
(iii)The telescope is oriented along the north line with the help of tubular compass fitted to the instrument. Then
the magnetic bearing of AB is measured.
(iv)Again vernier A is set at 0 and the upper clamp is kept fixed. The lower clamp is loosened and the ranging rod
at E is bisected. Now this clamp is tightened and the upper one is opened.
(v)By turning the telescope clockwise,the ranging rod at B is bisected. The readings on the verniers are noted.
(vi) is obtained in this fashion.
(vii)The face of the instrument is changed and is measured once more. The mean of the two observations
gives the correct value of .
(viii)Similarly the other angles are measured by centring the theodolite at B,C,D and E.
(ix)The arithmetic check is applied as follows:
(2n-4)90=Sum of interior angles.
(x)If

= 1719 minutes
Procedure:
(i)Locate the tangent point T by measuring back the tangent length from the P.I(V). Similarly, locate the other
tangent point T by measuring along the forward tangent the length from the P.I.
(ii)Set the theodolite at T and direct the line of sight towards V when the reading is zero.
(iii)Release the vernier plate and set the vernier to the first deflection angle (1) thus directing the line of sight to
the first peg on the transition curve.
(iv)With the zero end of the tape pinned at T, swing the length of the tape equal to the length of the first chord
till the arrow held at that distance along the tape is bisected by the line of sight. The first peg is thus fixed.
(v)Set the angle 2 on the circle so that the line of sight is directed to the second point. With the zero of the tape
pinned at T hold an arrow at a distance equal to the length of the second chord and swing it till bisected by the
line of sight, thus fixing the second point.
(vi)Repeat the procedure until the last point D is set out. For every point, the chord distance is measured from
the point T and not from the previous point as is done in a circular curve. Check the position of D by measuring
2
(360-3 ) for a right hand curve. Since DTV = 3 DD1V=3 , we have D1DT=3 . When the theodolite is
2
rotated in azimuth by an angle 3 ( till zero reading is obtained on the circle), the line of sight will be directed
along DD1. On transiting the theodolite now, the line of sight is directed along the tangent D1D with reference to
which the deflection angles of the circular curve have been calculated.
(viii)When the line of sight is thus correctly oriented, the reading on the circle will be zero. To locate the first peg
on the circular curve, the first deflection angle 1 is set out on the curve as usual.
(ix)Set out the circular curve in the usual way till the junction point D is reached, the position of which may be
checked by measuring the offset (=4s) to the second tangent at the point.
(x)Set out the other transition curve from T as before.
Result:
Thus the transition curve and the circular curve is set out.
General :
The required altitude and the horizontal angles are those to the suns centre. Hence the hairs should be set
tangential to the two limbs simultaneously. The opposite limbs are then observed by changing the face as shown
in figure.

Procedure :
Set the instrument over the station mark and leveling very accurately.
Clamp both the plates to zero and sight the reference mark (RM).
Turn to the sun and observe and altitude and horizontal angle with the sun in quadrant 1 of the cross hair system.
The motion in the azimuth is slow and the vertical hair is kept in contact by the upper tangent screw, the sun
being allowed to make contact with the horizontal hair the line of observation is also noted.
Using two tangential screw as quickly as possible, bring the sun in to the quadrant 3 of the cross hairs and again
read the horizontal and vertical angles. Observe also the chronometer time.
Turn to the RM. Reverse the face and take another side to RM.
Take two more observations of the sun precisely in the same way as in steps 3 and 4 above, but this time with the
sun is quadrant 2 and 4. Note the time of each observations.
Finally bisect the RM to see that the reading is zero.
During the above four observations (two with face left and two with face right)
The declination is taken for the corresponding date and the latitude is taken for the corresponding place.

Calculation:
The azimuth (A) can be calculated by one of the following expressions :

where s = (p+c+z)
where c=co-latitude=90-
following expressions:-

Correction for refraction:
Correction for refraction (in seconds) = 58 cot
