nehrozí - viem ho ale ma to nezaujíma ako si to kto preloží z češtiny. Existuje totiž slovník Česko-slovenský © 1981, kde to je uvedené na strane 109 v prostrednom stĺpci. To inak bolo známe heslo boľševika "Ja som BANÍK, kto je viac"...

Soudíme-li podle skvělé mapy, kterou vytvořil,
musel mít k dispozici i nejlepší geodetické přístroje 17. století: surveing chains (? měřické pásmo?), kvadrant,
zeměměřický kompas.

mapovací kompas
Surveyor's Compas (1750-1800)
" a circumferenter (-tor) like this one was used in mapping land or roads. The surveyor set the compas on a tripod, then the swiveled the brass sight vane to specific landmarks to determine angles". www.pilgrimhall.org
tiez pouzivany v baniach
vychadzam z "mapping" teda nie zememeracsky/ zameriavaci ale mapovaci vzhladom na jednoduchost pristroja a jeho funkciu v tom case.
ako uviedol R.G najdete
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumferentor see also alidade po slov. alidáda zo slov. cudzich slov nie alhidáda ako je vo wikipedii.
