Enfin, le clinomètre Surwel, de la Compagnie Sperry Sun, analogue [au clinomètre optique Schlumberger], comporte un compas gyroscopique à la place de l'aiguille aimantée et un niveau à bulle comme clinomètre. Il comprend, en outre, un thermomètre. Les photos sont prises toutes les six à huit secondes sur un film de 16 mm. Le gyroscope donne un gros diamètre à l'appareil qui ne peut être descendu que dans des forages d'au moins 6 pouces (150 mm). 1, record 1, French, - clinom%C3%A8tre%20Surwel
