Graduation and scale in astronomical instruments

The pursuit on subdivision precision 

Length:

Diagonal scale (Gunter rule)


Widely used on cartography and maps

Vernier scale



Angles:

Cross staff


Astrolabe


Tycho Brahe's armillary sphere and quadrant 



Idea from Levi ben Gerson

10” accuracy 

Nonius scale

Mariner's quadrant


original nonius scale

I guess in practice, the observer just read off the angle as  900/87 degrees, and later on convert it to DMS.



元史四海測驗

由晷影轉換成角度.北宋 sub degree 用 

半 = 1/2

小 = 1/3

強 = 2/3

半小= 1/6?

半強=5/6?

太強=?

太= 3/4=6/8?

太弱=5/8?

渾天儀: 0.1古度, linear

沒有用“magnification of scale"

Cf: 郭守敬把數據精確到1/20度(how?),晷影轉換到角, 時的角度單位?averaging?

永樂大典(失傳?),分度矩(估計是舶來品):WeChat
