- A surveying instrument for measuring horizontal and vertical angles, consisting of a small telescope mounted on a tripod
- A theodolite is a precision instrument for measuring angles in the horizontal and vertical planes. Theodolites are mainly used for surveying applications, and have been adapted for specialized purposes in fields like meteorology and rocket launch technology. ...
- An optical instrument used to track the motion of a pilot balloon, or pibal, by measuring the elevation and azimuth angles.
- (also "optical transit"): a transit with accurate optical readout of vertical and horizontal angles.
- An instrument which, superseding the circumferentor and graphometer, is used for general surveying purposes and by naval hydrograghers.
- An instrument used in precise surveying consisting of an alidade which is equipped with a telescope, a leveling device, and an accurately graduated horizontal circle. A theodolite may also have an accurately graduated vertical circle.
- (2h)[O], are held to DS eye with DH in front of NDH as if looking through a theodolite (surveying scope) and DH is pulled forward once + [3] modified to mimic the three legs of a tripod strike FT against the palm of [B], PO up, FO away.
- A laser leveling instrument commonly used to establish correct depth of foundations, levels of excavations, and slab formwork.
- A device for determining altitude by measuring both elevation and azimuth angles. More accurate than a simple inclinometer, which measures only the elevation angle.
