USED BY A SURVEYOR WHO TOOK CARE IF HIS INSTRUMENTS SO THAT HE DID ACCURATE WORK. A TRANSIT IS USED TO MEASURE AND LAY OUT ANGLES ON LAND, HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL. BY USING “DOUBLE REVERSING” ERRORS IN THE INSTRUMENT ARE ELIMINATED---SEE ANY OLDER BOOK ON LAND SURVEYING. MOST HOUSE SALES STILL REQUIRE A SURVEY, ESPECIALLY IF A BANK IS INVOLVED.
The vernier \"B\" reads 116 degrees 40 minutes, case has its key and mounting base. the serial number probably means it is the 63 instrument K&E made in 1959. The small chain at the bottom is for the plumb bob.
