what's her take on alidade?
C'mon dxb - she ain't that old! When did you last hear of an alidade being used (unless the name has been nicked to apply to the thingy you squint through on modern, electronic devices!)
They were certainly in use in the C19, and probably well in C20, but I think they were out of favour by the 1950s, at latest.
