OPTICAL READING CLINOMETER
The sturdy pocket-size construction renders the SUUNTO CLINOMETER most
suitable for every type of work. Easy for rapid reading through a parallax-free lens is
incorporated into the design.
Sighting and scale reading are done simultaneously. There are no screws to turn, no
bubbles to center, and nothing to adjust.
Where space is limited, as in geological and mineralogical work, the inclination of
strata and other formations can be read placing the instrument along the contour or
surface of the formation and reading the angle directly through the side window.
Construction features
The framework is of corrosion resistant light-weight aluminum.
The scale card is supported by a jewel bearing assembly and all moving parts are
immersed in a damping liquid inside a high strength hermetically sealed plastic
container. The liquid dampens all undue scale vibrations and permits a smooth
shockless movement of the scale card.
The material of the container is not attacked by sunlight or water. The liquid does not
freeze in the arctic or evaporate in the tropics.
