About the Item

Theodolite in bronze. Non-functional decorative use, 20th century The theodolite is a universal mechanical-optical measuring instrument used to measure vertical and, above all, horizontal angles, an area in which it has high precision. With other auxiliary tools you can measure distances and slopes. It is portable and manual, it is made for topographic and engineering purposes, especially in triangulations. With the help of a sight and through tachymetry, you can measure distances. A more modern and sophisticated equipment is the electronic theodolite, and another more sophisticated instrument is another type of theodolite, better known as the total station. Basically, the current theodolite is a telescope mounted on a tripod and with two graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, with which the angles are measured with the help of lenses."
