笔记
A finely made example of an offset staff. The instrument consists of a turned wooden pole. At one end is a metal spike so that the pole can be easily driven into the ground. On the other end is a wooden ball with a cross-slight. The instrument was designed to measure off sets, that is, to locate objects that are at a 90 degree angle to the surveying centreline.

Dudley joined the Royal Navy and led a privateering expedition to South America in 1594-1595. In 1596, he commanded the ship Nonpareil in the Earl of Essex’s successful attack on Cadiz, and was knighted for his services.
