Hello Peter:
While surveying for portable (helicopter) seismic exploration operations in remote parts of the Rockies, (This is in the early 80's) I used a Wild T-Zero which was also referred to as a "mountain theodolite". It was very small, only
read to the nearest minute, and the horizontal circle doubled as a compass. Peter Legere wrote:

It is supposidly the smallest theodolite ever made.
I would be interested to know if any of you have one and if there are, in >fact, smaller theodolites out there.Robert A. Holt, LS
