The heights found in this way are ho, hgo, hiso, hiiQ from which we get two zenith angles, dx and 62, showing the dip of the elliptical surface of the fluid in two directions at right angles to one another: , 180 — ho /i27o — ho , , tan di = -—-J ; tan 62 = (10) Knowing now di and 62, the direction of the major axis of the eUipse is also known. The precipitation heights are measured by aid of a special microscope with adjustable tube in which is a scale grad- FiG. 64. uated in tenths of miUimeters (Fig. 64). It is possible to determine the angle 6 to as close as 15 min. which is con- sidered very satisfactory. When determining less accuracy is to be expected, and this accuracy falls off the smaller the zenith angle d, , the more vertical the hole. For a zenith angle of 5 deg. the 1 From some notes kindly supplied by the Swedish Diamond Drilling Company.
