About the Item
Land-surveyor squaring, measuring instrument made of brass, Italian manufacture, from the second half of the 19th century, complete with original walnut box. It is a topographic instrument consisting of a cylindrical brass box, on which eight sights are practiced, which are used to trace alignments at 45 ° or multiples of 45 °.

It consists of two coaxial metal cylinders of which the one below is fixed and is provided, on the upper edge, with a centesimal graduation; the upper cylinder, also called alidade, rotates around a vertical axis. The alidade is equipped with four sights or slots and on the lower edge it is equipped with a reading vernier which represents the indicator in the readings of the graduation of the fixed part. Box size 11x19 h 11 cm.
