Wild T16 Direct Scale Reading Tacheometer Theodolite

 

The Wild T16 (old model) Direct Reading Theodolite has been designed as a tacheometric theodolite suitable for all low-order triangulations, tacheometrie detail and traverse surveys, mine surveys, property surveys, building site measurements, marking out, etc.

The easily read scales of the horizontal and vertical circles allow work to be carried out quickly, with estimation to one tenth of a graduation interval (one minute of arc) accomplished without difficulty. All clamps and tangent screws are placed logically so that they can be manipulated safely and comfortably. The combination of the simple circle scale reading and the operation of the instrument itself makes the T16 a most useful instrument for use by trainees.

There are several types of T16 each containing specially modified features. The T16-E has an upright telescope image, thereby providing additional speed for observing, especially when reading a vertical staff and laying-out works. The T16-ED has the extra facility of a horizontal circle with double numbering (360° circle only), allowing angles to read or set out either to the left ("North to West") or, in the normal fashion, to the right ("North to East"). The T160 is a normal TI6 theodolite without the vertical circle unit. If the user is certain that his survey tasks will never require the measurement of vertical angles this model will be of economic advantage to him.

The detachable tribrach ensures that the T16 can be used with all Wild traversing equipment and, of course, the normal accessories and attachments all provide additional uses and accuracies for the instrument.
