The faces are longer than the tlanks. In-dented lines are used on the banks of rivers, wherethey enter a town. The parapet of the covered-wayis also often indented.

On the breaking of the first circuit, thechronometer falls verticallj; on the rupture of the. evelingfrom front to rear, let the beveled shoulderof the bob, opposite the numbered face, rest lightlyagainst the projecting edge, • <•, of the trianixulaVbase; in leveling laterally, align the right face withthe edge d d, of the salient angle of the above i)ro-jection. In cocking the indenter, be careful not todisturb the level of the instrument; the left handalone is therefore used: the fingers grasp the tube,li, while the thumb pulls jiack the spring until itcatches in the lever, I.
