-Note-
There are in every observatory certain problems connected with the constants of the instruments that must be determined empirically for each instrument. It is beyond the skill of the maker to reach perfection and the errors in workmanship must be detected by observation.
There are certain problems that depend upon length, size or some condition of the instrument, and that do not involve error, but must also be solved by observation. Two very important ones, among these problems, are the value of the equatorial wire interval of the
