Abstract

This invention provides an adjusting base for geodetic instruments. By a double function of a clamping ring the adjusting base may be used with both instruments with a standard central single peg and instruments with more pegs arranged around a common center. Various interchangeable parts enable the adjusting base to be used on all known tripods and pillar plates.
