19th century Clinometer / Clinomètre du 19ième siècle

thingiverse

The clinometer, also known as an inclinometer or Abney level in surveying, measures angles on land. This information is used to determine things like the incline of slopes and the height of mountains, trees, and even clouds. Clinometers have been around for a long time, starting with simple plummet tools consisting of a string with a weight at one end. By the late 18th century, they had become more sophisticated, featuring bubble levels, sights, and telescopes. This particular clinometer was designed and used by Meteorology Services of Canada to determine cloud base height from the early 1950s to 1958. It is made of cast iron and brass parts, painted black. Note: The complete model of this artifact is named "Clinometer - Clinomètre.stl" and is meant to be viewed in a virtual environment using computer software. To construct your own clinometer, please download the individual pieces (Body - Corps.stl, Arm - Bras.stl, Clinometer label - Rapporteur d'angles imprimé.pdf).
