The horizontal circle inside the graduations is 6 3/16 in diameter; outside 7 1/8". The graduations read to single minutes by double opposite verniers. The vertical arc is 5" in diameter, and reads to single minutes by one double vernier. The compass needle (see page 9) is 4 1/2" long, with a sapphire center.
When furnished with erecting telescope, the telescope has the following dimensions: length 11 1/2", power with variable power eyepiece 20 to 30, effective aperture 1 1/2" and an apparent field of 30 degrees.
