We faced the problem of designing and building a Photographic Zenith Tube with mercury basin and lateral plate-holder system providing enough accuracy to allow the determination of astronomical coordinates. This instrumentis intended to work as a prototype of a bigger and more accurate one to be designed and developed in the future (Lopez, A. et al.: 1983).
