The meridian circle is one of the most fundamental instrument in the field of astrometry where the astronomical objects are studied observationally for positions and their changes on the celestial sphere. At the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory (= National Astronomical Observatory since July, 1988) the Gautier Meridian Circle of 1903 was used until 1982 for various international meridian circle observations like SRS and NPZT programs, as well as for observations of OB stars, and the Moon and planets.
