A-frame level Explanation: That's a description of this device in Czech: https://ucimesevenku.cz/cisla-venku_archiv/ - see section "MĚŘÍME 1 AR". Another description: https://ar-ar.facebook.com/skolateptin/posts/464758914192476... Another one: https://docplayer.cz/13465194-Dum-byt-chata-zahrada-stroje-n... - see p. 32 SÁHOMĚR Při měření delších vzdáleností lze nahradit drahé pásmo jednoduchým zařízením, které se dříve běžně používalo při vyměřování pozemků. Stačí stlouci tři latě a sáhoměr je hotov. That's exact description of the same device in English https://assets.echocommunity.org/publication_issue/1e97162c-... Another one https://www.appropedia.org/The_'A'_frame_(Practical_Action_B... Video guide: ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c90LEjR4Y3E Here's the definition: http://www.directlinesoftware.com/survey.htm A Frame - A measuring device built in the shape of an A. The distance between the legs is 6.6 feet (one tenth of a chain. To measure the acreage of a small square parcel, multiply the width and height in "A's" and move the decimal point three places to the left. For example, a square that is 6 A's wide and 4 A's tall is .024 acres. Basically that's so-called "proportional divider", but bigger in size - A-shaped. Unfortunately that has nothing to do with wheels. |
