Excerpt from Astronomical Observations Made at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, Vol. 1: From October 1834 to December 1835
The principal apartment in the Observatory is that in which the Transit Telescope and Mural Circle are placed. It is 44 feet in length from east to west; 22 feet in breadth from north to south; and 11feet in height; but over each Instrument the ridge of the sloping roof is 18 feet above the floor. The Transit Telescope occupies the eastern division of the apartment, the Mural Circle the western.

Excerpt from Astronomical Observations Made at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, Vol. 1: From October 1834 to December 1835
The process of reversing the instrument is conveniently and safely per formed by means of an apparatus, which allows the counterpoises to act before the pivots touch the Y's, so that no additional pressure is exerted upon them, and the instrument is replaced without the least collision.
Five vertical Wires and one horizontal Wire of spider-thread are placed in the eye-end of the telescope, besides other two vertical Wires, which are fixed to the same frame, and move together by means of a micrometer screw.
The Telescope has four eye-glasses, whose magnifying powers are 100, 136, 200, and 300; but 200 is the power commonly used. For faint objects, the power 136 is applied. The whole aperture of the object-glass is employed, ex cept in observations of the Sun, when it is contracted to inches, and the ih strument screened from the solar rays.
