Place the Stereo-slope Comparator over the Supplementary Slope Model
(fig. 4), one target over the right image and one over the left. Adjust the
separation, the horizontal swing, and the slope angle motions until the inclination
of the targets (seen stereoscopically as one target) is in visual agreement with the
Figure 4. -- The Stereo-slope Comparator oriented
over the Supplementary Slope Model
al a exaggerated angle of slope in the constructed stereoscopic model. This visual agreement
can be made more accurate by adjusting the fine-thread separation knob B, which changes
the separation of the targets in reference to the model and causes the stereoscopic target
to appear raised or lowered In reference to the plane of the model (fig. 5a). By this
adjustment the stereoscopic sloping target can be placed in, below, or above the plane
of the selected slope in the model. The angle of slope is read in degrees on the instrument
dial. Several readings should be taken to provide a good average, as this Is a critical
measurement.
