Sextants and accessories
Description
An account of the resource
The "old astronomy" was dominated by the precise measurement of the positions of the stars and the determination of time. At Illinois, astronomy was first taught as part of the Civil Engineering department helping to develop the engineers' surveying skills. Specialized telescopes and procedures were developed for this purpose. As the "new astronomy" of astrophysics began to develop, positional astronomy was taught less and less. The one exception was the need for navigation by military ships and airplanes. In 1918 a Navigation course was offered for air service men. The course continued after WWI and was advertised as a course of interest to engineers and those thinking of working on merchant ships. This collection consists of sextants and other accessories such as artificial horizons that were used in positional astronomy, surveying, and navigation.

Black glass ground plane surface, 3 3/8 diameter, 3 leveling screws, fine graduated adjustable spirit level, and mahogany case.
In the 1913 Keuffel & Esser catalog (page 413) the reflecting horizon cost $16. The reflecting horizon is an alternative to the mercury artificial horizon and is used with a sextant when the horizon is not visible.
