ABSTRACT:
A small angle generating apparatus is described for deviating optical beams y accurately measurable small angles to calibrate autocollimators or the like. It includes a double mirror combination which is mounted on an elongated mechanical beam which is rotatable about a pivot at one end of the beam by means of a micrometer coupled at the opposite end thereof. Rotation of the double mirror combination deviates a beam of light from a test autocollimator from its original position either horizontally or vertically through a small angle which is linearly proportional to the angular rotation of the mechanical beam.
