Sextant

Sextant

Product Code : JA-MLI-1858

The Sextant (SKU JA-MLI-1858) measures the angle of an object in comparison with the horizon, the method sextants have used for hundreds of years in navigation. It consists of a small hollow sighting pipe mounted on a frame with reflective mirrors and a 60 degree arc. The user adjusts the arm and mirror until the object lines up with the horizon, then reads the arc to record the angle. In the maths lab it supports angle-of-elevation and heights-and-distances activities. JaincoLab makes this sextant model in Ambala, India.
