The automatic declination reading system implemented on the Bordeaux meridian circle with a new divided circle is shortly presented. The determination of the division errors by the Benevides-Boczko method was carried out in December 1982 and in March 1983: the standard deviation between the two sets of corrections is about 0.015″.
