Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of refined studies by J. G. Repsold, an 18th-century German physicist and instrument maker, on the construction and use of heliotropes, instruments that reflect sunlight to transmit signals over long distances. Repsold's work was crucial in the history of surveying, as heliotropes enabled the precise determination of distances, a key element in the creation of accurate maps. The author examines Repsold's personal letters and scientific papers to provide insights into his scientific method, the context of his research in the field of optics, and the impact of his inventions on contemporary surveying practices. By shedding light on an important figure in the history of surveying, this book contributes to the historiography of science and technology and provides valuable information for scholars and practitioners alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
