The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.
