This dip meter measures both the amount and direction of dip by readings taken in the borehole, and can be operated by using either self-potential or resistivity measurements. The instrument has a long cylindrical body in two parts, the lower part moving telescopically into the upper. Three long springy metal strips, arranged symmetrically round the body, have their upper and lower ends attached to the upper and lower parts of the body respectively. These springs press outwards and make contact with the walls of the hole. 1, record 1, English, - Schlumberger%20dip%20meter
