    Description

    This Gurley Transit or Theodolite has two telescopes that are 11” and should extend to 12 ½”. The extra scope is mounted parallel with the main telescope and fitted with a flange and disk for adjustment. This was efficient for sighting up or down a vertical shaft. It has been described as a Mining, Engineers, and Tunneling Transit. There is no serial number and this places it in the 1880-1900 date range.
