A portable altitude and azimuth instrument of the latest and best form, from the celebrated makers, Troughton & Simms, of London, is used for instruction in Geodesy and Practical Astronomy. It is read by micrometer microscopes to single seconds, both of altitude and of azimuth. To facilitate practice in trigonometrical and land surveying, an area has been specially prepared in -which the difficulties of plane surveying are presented to the beginner as he is able to meet them, and where he is taught practical methods of overcoming them. For the Lecture Room—Van school has numerous models for illustrating its specialties, including descriptive geometry and astronomy; models of bridges, roofs, joints, and connections; a large collection of drawings, photographs, and photo-lithographs of bridges, roofs, and engineering structures; it has access to the Museum of Engineering and Architecture, which contains models illustrating wood, stone, and metal construction and a complete set of lithographs of the lectures and drawings used in the government Polytechnic Schools of France. The library is well supplied with the latest and best periodicals and books upon engineering subjects.
