Single Corner Reflector
Single Corner Reflector
This is a single corner reflector set up on a piece of re-bar that has
been pounded into the cinders. The painted board helps the EDM operator
to find the reflector since he or she is often looking for it over
distances of a few kilometers. This type of low-tech reflector is
relatively expendable and is usually left out in areas where eruptions are
possible. For more precise measurements, clusters of 3, 6, or 9
reflectors are used, but they are only installed while the measurements
are being made.
