An Alid claimed leadership among the local Shi'a community after the emir's death.

The museum displayed an Alid inscription from the tenth century.

The two antique alidades on display demonstrated the precision of 19th-century surveying instruments.

Alida arrived early to set up the display for the community art fair.

The cartographer adjusted the alidade to obtain an accurate bearing while drafting the map.

Before starting the survey, the technician calibrated all the alidads on the instrument to ensure accurate bearings.

The old surveyor adjusted the alidad on his theodolite before taking a measurement.
