As we learn later, this is due to mis-assembly in India of parts imported from Russia. However, reputable manufacturers are capable of mistakes. See under http://sextantbook.com/?s=Tamaya+collimation+blunder . The second post in the category details incorrect manufacture of the collimation ring of a Tamaya sextant.
