Abstract
A prism with two reflecting faces designed to fulfil a particular purpose in an optical instrument gives rise to errors due to (a) inaccuracy of manufacture and (b) inaccuracy in mounting the prism in the instrument. The effects of these errors are investigated. The special case of the constant deviation prism, in which the three parts of the ray inside the prism nominally lie in a plane, gives rise to an error of the second order, the value of which is obtained.
