ensuring that the focusing screw is not touched. Meanwhile move the
scale on point b1 to point I1. After leveling the instrument precisely, first
aim the far scale at point I1 on the opposite side, take readings based on
the reversed sequence of c), b), a) and the operating requirements.
e) Move the instrument to between I2 and b2 and at equal distances. Measure
the height difference hI2b2 between I2 and b2 in accordance with the normal
