Theodolite

The theodolite is a portable instrument, used in astronomy, topography and geodesic work for the measurement of angles on a horizontal and vertical level.
The Bancks theodolite was probably used by the British survey missions which worked in the region from 1811 to 1860.
The instrument has not been restored.
