octants (vertical angle measuring devices, angle measuring devices, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Reflecting navigational instruments used for measuring the altitude of celestial bodies and having an arc of 1/8 of a circle, but due to their reflecting properties can measure up to 90 degrees; invented in the 1730s and used into the 19th century when superseded by sextants.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 能反射光線、用來測量天體高度的航海用儀器,其弧狀刻度盤有圓周八分之一長,不過因其反射特性,最大測量角度可達90度;發明於1730年,持續使用直到十九世紀時被六分儀所取代。 
Dutch ..... Reflecterende navigatie-instrumenten die werden gebruikt bij het meten van de horizonshoogte van hemellichamen en die een boog hebben van 1/8 van een cirkel maar die door hun reflecterende eigenschappen tot 90 graden kunnen meten; uitgevonden in de jaren 1730 en gebruikt tot in de 19e eeuw toen ze werden vervangen door sextanten. 
German ..... Spiegelbasiertes Navigationsinstrument zur Höhenbestimmung von Himmelskörpern, mit einem Bogen, der aus einem Achtelkreis besteht, welches aber durch seine Spiegeleigenschaften bis zu 90 Grad messen kann; um 1730 erfunden und bis ins 19. Jahrhundert verwendet, dann vom Sextanten abgelöst. 
Spanish ..... Instrumentos de navegación reflectantes usados para medir la altitud de cuerpos celestes y con un arco de un octavo de círculo, pero que debido a sus propiedades reflectantes pueden medir hasta 90 grados; inventados en la década de 1730 y usados hasta entrado siglo XIX, cuando fueron reemplazados por el sextante.
