The Wndsn Quadrant Telemeter is a low tech, naked-eye, observational instrument that allows the user to measure angular size, distance, height or depth of object, slope, altitude, or elevation via various inputs and sighting methods. In addition, the Quadrant Telemeter is a trigonometry-based, graphical, analog computer that provides built-in functions to directly process or convert the acquired values. Featured is an inclinometer as well as scales for the computation of sine, cosine, and tangent for any given angle. It is possible to solve right-angled and non-right angled triangles without the use of digital means. This manual is about the theory and practice of the instrument.

This book is a description of the tools, principles, functions, and methods which together make up the operating system of the Quadrant Telemeter and its specialized variants. It's a practical manual for the beginner, as well as a study guide and textbook for the advanced user. It includes tutorials for all functions and methods, as well as the graphically worked formulas and a number of useful reference tables.

The 5th edition expands upon the 3rd and 4th edition, now clocking in at 538 pages, 197 figures, 31 tables, 50 equations, 139 glossary entries, and 97 bibliography entries.

From the changelog:

• More detail and easier introductions for beginners throughout.
• More graphics and more worked examples.
• All procedures are now supported by graphics with arrowed numbers pointing at the respective steps.
• The chapter on the functions of the Sine Quadrant is fully reworked and expanded based on original research, with full explanations demonstrating its completeness as a calculator to solve any trig problem.
• A Wndsn community project has become a full chapter; nine standard sighting situations are laid out and codified with sample formulas and procedures as well as worked examples.
• Community contributions are featured throughout from users in the field, from using the Telemeter without any known dimensions other than our own, to using the Quadrant as a simple, yet highly sophisticated and accurate star compass.
• Greatly expanded glossary and bibliography.
