An improved form of Three-Circle Goniometer
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
In a previous paper the author pointed out the advantages of a goniometer possessing three graduated circles, and described an instrument of this type which had resulted from the addition of a two-circle arrangement to an ordinary reflective goniometer with a single (horizontal) circle. As was remarked in that paper, the adapted instrument has unavoidably the disadvantage that measurements can be made through little more than a right angle in any particular zone, with the single exception of the zone of reference, without readjustment of the vertical and third circles. The zone may, indeed, be completed by measuring from the diametrically opposite pole in the zone of reference; but difficulties occasionally arise in practice, and it is convenient to be able to measure through at least two right angles round the free end of the crystal by rotation of the horizontal circle only.
