Optical Square
Product Code : JA-G-3576
The Optical Square (SKU JA-G-3576) is a surveying instrument for setting out right angles in the field, used to measure offsets from the chain line. Standing on the chain line, the surveyor sights a ranging rod along the line and an object to the side at the same moment; when the two coincide, the object lies at 90 degrees to the line. JaincoLab manufactures it for survey practicals and field geometry.
