Description

DESC: 6675-01-067-0687 and 1290-01-510-0540, Part Number 11785090 and 11834483, The item to procure is a M2A2 Aiming Circle (Head Assembly) - 11834483 The Aiming Circle consists of an elbow telescope mounted on orienting and elevating mechanisms which are contained within a main housing. The main housing, in turn, is mounted on a tripod and provides precise measurements of a zimuth and elevation angles of a ground or aerial target through the use of azimuth and elevation scales. The telescope is a low power, fixed focus instrument. The elbow bend in the telescope makes it easier for the operator to use. A mounting mechanism provides the elbow telescope with unlimited azimuth movements and limited elevation movements. The aiming circle can be used to shoot the sun for general topographical surveying. An integral magnetic compass is used to orient the aiming circle to magnet ic north, therefore the entire construction of the aiming circle must be non-magnetic. The Aiming Circle can also be oriented using stars with a reticle inside the elbow telescope. The aiming circle mounts on the tripod head with leveling screws and leve l indicating vials. The aiming circle consists of cast and precision machined components. Two precision matched worms and wheels are also incorporated for azimuth and elevation movement. The aiming circle is roughly 10 inches high by 6 inches in diamete r. An aluminum dome cover is provided with two latches and a webbed carrying strap for ease of transport and protection. And M2A2 Aiming Circle (Complete)  11785090 The M2A2 Aiming Circle is fielded as a system consisting of the aforementioned head assembly and the following items: Tripod, M51 Instrument Light, Plumb Bob and a Canvas Bag. The Tripod consists of three wood en legs, adjustable in length, hinged to a flat tripod head. The flat tripod head contains a screw assembly which secures the aiming circle to it and provides a hook for hanging the plumb bob string. The M51 Instrument Light contains 2 batteries, a rheo stat type switch and two wire cables each equipped with a specialized light. The Plumb Bob consists of a pointed cylindrical weight with a nylon string and a slide adjuster. The Canvas Bag contains pockets for storing the instrument light, plumb bob, and a lamp extractor. This bag is generally strapped to a leg of the tripod. Manufacture of these items will require the ability to precision machine worms and wheels and fit them as matched sets (lapping). The ability to access cast and machined components made of brass and other non-metallic materials. The ability to access opt ical workings or instruments and test ( i.e. azimuth test fixture and/or cross level fixture experience).
