Theodolite
A theodolite is an instrument for measuring both horizontal and vertical angles, as used in triangulation networks, and geo-location work. It is a tool used in the land surveying and engineering industry, but theodolites have been adapted for other specialized purposes as well. The horizontal accuracy of theodolites depends on "seconds". The 2-5" accuracy theodolite is above the middle level.

A theodolite is an instrument for measuring both horizontal and vertical angles, as used in triangulation networks, and geo-location work. It is a tool used in the land surveying and engineering industry, but theodolites have been adapted for other specialized purposes as well. The horizontal accuracy of theodolites depends on "seconds". The 2-5" accuracy theodolite is above the middle level.
A modern theodolite consists of a movable telescope mounted within two perpendicular axes—the horizontal or trunnion axis, and the vertical axis. When the telescope is pointed at a target object, the angle of each of these axes can be measured with great precision, typically to seconds of arc.
