The split prism stadimeter was used first to determine the mast heigth (vertically) and then it was rotated 90º with a special handle to use it horizontally. The same split prism was used twice.
OK, that's what I originally thought . Thanks for clarifying it. Do you (or anyone) happen to have any links to what the dial looked like for the German stadimeter?
