had become almost useless, and six new instruments were made by imperial
authority
‘In (1673) the old instruments having stood the wear of long past years,
had become almost useless, and six new instruments were made by imperial
authority. These were the _T”ien-t”ee_ “Celestial Globe” (6); _Chih-taoue_
“Equinoctial Sphere” (2); _Hwang-taoue_ “Zodiacal Sphere” (1); _Te-p”ing
kinge_ “Azimuthal Horizon” (3); _Te-p”ing weie_ “Altitude Instrument” (4);
_Ke-yene_ “Sextant” (5). These were placed in the Observatory, and to the
present day are respectfully used. The old instruments were at the same
time removed, and deposited at the foot of the stage. In (1715) the
_Te-ping King-wei-e_ “Azimuth and Altitude Instrument” was made;[14] and in
1744 the _Ke-hang-foo-chin-e_ (literally “Sphere and Tube instrument for
sweeping the heavens”). All these were placed on the Observatory stage.
