Period
1969-1978
Canada
This geodimeter was acquired from a Canadian branch of the manufacturer known as AGAtronics. Surveying Canada’s extensive and rugged territory has demanded sophisticated science and played a crucial role in the assessment and exploitation of our natural resources. The donor and his family immigrated to Canada in 1952 and moved to British Columbia in 1964. He was commissioned a British Columbia Land Surveyor in 1969 and the artifact was used extensively by him in the province’s Cariboo area until 1978 when he acquired a newer model to replace it. Ce géodimètre était acquis d'une branche du manufacturier canadien soue le nom AGAtronics. L'arpentage du Canada demande l'utilisation d'une science précise pour l'exploitation de nos ressources naturelles. Le donateur et sa famille ont immigré au Canada en 1952 et ont déménagé en Colombie-Britannique en 1964. Il est devenu un arpenteur-géomètre breveté de la province en 1969. L'artefact était utilisé dans la région Cariboo jusqu'à 1978 quand le donateur la remplacer par un modèle plus récent.
Function
This tripod helped stabilize a geodimeter as it created measurements during land surveying for the estimation of natural resources. Ce trépied a stabilisé un géodimètre pendant qu'il était déployé pour accumuler des données dans le champ pour l'arpentage.
Technical
Model 6B likely came out around 1969 and was the first one with an orange finish rather than the earlier gray. This artifact represents a shift away from earlier instruments characterized by their mass and heft towards later ones that were so light they inspired the concept of the “total station”: a group of instruments mounted on a single tripod capable of making all of the usual surveying measurements. It was part of the first wave of lighter instruments using transistors. It also made use of of tungsten/mercury vapour lamps but they too would soon be superseded by the introduction of the laser, and then both microwave and infrared technology. Le Modèle 6B a probablement été conçus autour de l'année 1969 et il était le premier à avoir une finition orange au lieu du gris typique. L'artefact représente un changement ou un éloignement des instruments plus vieux qui était caractérisé par leur masse et grandeur. Le Modèle 6B étais non seulement plus léger, mais aussi une station complète sur un trépied capable de faire tout le mesurage nécessaire pour l'arpentage. L'objet faisait partie de la première vague à utiliser des transistors et des lampes à vapeur de tungstène/mercure, mais ils ont été remplacés par le laser et après par des micro-ondes et la technologie de l'infrarouge.

Finish
A tripod made of three wooden legs. It has three brass coloured metal feet that are pointed and that each have their own handle. A metal wing nut of the same colour sits on the side of each of the feet. A leather strap with a metal buckle is attached to one of the legs with the help of a metal rivet. Inside one of the legs is a leather pouch that holds a metal tripod brace. A brass coloured metal platform sits atop the three legs and helps join them together with the help of metal bolts of the same colour. A threaded insert can slide inside a metal tongue that helps fasten the geodimeter to the top of the tripod. Un trépied fait avec trois jambes en bois. Les jambes ont des pieds en métal de couleur laiton qui sont pointus et qui ont chacun leur propre manche fait avec le même matériel. Un écrou à oreilles en métal de la même couleur est visible sur le côté de chaque pied. Une sangle en cuir avec une boucle de ceinture en métal retient les pieds ensemble. La sangle est attachée à un des pieds avec l'aide d'un rivet en métal. À l'intérieur des pieds il y a une pochette en cuir avec une entretoise. Une plateforme en métal de couleur laiton rapproche les trois pieds ensemble sur le dessus des trois pieds avec l'aide des boulons en métal. Une douille filetée peut glisser dans une langue en métal sur le dessus du trépied et peut sécuriser un géodimètre à la tête du trépied.
