[PSUBS-MAILIST] measuring an angle issue

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
It says resolution to .1 of a degree but accuracy to .3 of a degree.
You need accuracy to .25. That model was made in North America.
You will need to find out how long the tool needs to be & then look
at the advertised accuracy within the available items.
Alternatively you could find out how long the tool needs to be & see
if any local machine shops have an instrument for measuring angles
of that length. Then you would have to tow your sub there cause
they won't lend you their tool! ( unwritten law)

Measure the inside and outside diameters before boring and designate b as the difference in diameters /2.  Angle would be arctan (a/b).

>> Hi All,  I am planing to remove my original conical port and instal a dome on the original conical seat and bore the centre out of the original seat to get 12 inches of open view.  Will Cohen is making the dome for me.  My problem is, I have to measure the seat angle to within 1\4 of 1 degree.  How can I measure this angle without buying an expensive digital protractor?  I thought about just measuring the distances of the angles and just do the math, but it is pretty tricky to measure.
