English Dictionary: Kuwaiti dinar by the DICT Development Group
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Kathetometer \Kath`e*tom"e*ter\, n.
      Same as {Cathetometer}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Cathetometer \Cath`e*tom"e*ter\, n. [From Gr. [?] vertical
      height + -meter.]
      An instrument for the accurate measurement of small
      differences of height; esp. of the differences in the height
      of the upper surfaces of two columns of mercury or other
      fluid, or of the same column at different times. It consists
      of a telescopic leveling apparatus (d), which slides up or
      down a perpendicular metallic standard very finely graduated
      (bb). The telescope is raised or depressed in order to sight
      the objects or surfaces, and the differences in vertical
      height are thus shown on the graduated standard. [Written
      also {kathetometer}.]
