ABSTRACT:
An electronic leveling apparatus and associated leveling staff are capable of measuring the height difference of the positions automatically through the opto-electric conversion of the image of a pattern formed on the leveling staff. The apparatus has a turning drive means for turning it on a horizontal plane, a light emission means for emitting a light beam to the outside, a light reception means for receiving a reflected light of the emitted light beam, and a signal processor for controlling the turning drive means in response to the received signal so that the apparatus is oriented to the leveling staff automatically.
