About This Product
Surveyors use theodolites for triangulation, prolonging survey lines and working out angles of elevation and depression to distant and near points. This model lets a class try those measurements on a simple instrument and see how the two axes and their scales work together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can be measured with the Theodolite Model?
It measures horizontal and vertical angles, read from the graduated circles on its two axes.
