This item is a replica of antique surveying theodolite. Manufactured using Solid Brass and given Antique finish to look like original Ancient Survey instruments. Surveyors use these items to align the compass and measure the vertical and horizontal angles for accurate measurements while developing their topographical maps.  An alidade or a turning table / board is a device that allows one to sight a distant object and use the line of sight to perform a task. This task can be, for example, to draw a line on a plane table in the direction of the object or to measure the angle to the object from some reference point. Angles measured can be horizontal, vertical or in any chosen plane.
