theodolites

But if the motion of the glacier be observed by means of accurate measuring instruments, such as theodolites, it is not necessary to wait for years to observe that ice moves—a single day is sufficient.

I learned about gromas and chorobates, plane tables and astrolabes, theodolites and transits … and then tellurometers, total stations, inertial survey systems and, of course the Global Positioning Satellite system.

Displays of lavishly decorated spiral thermometers, brass astrolabes, elaborate armillary spheres and theodolites -- even Michelangelo's compass kit -- testify to the era's appetite for precise technical information.
