The T1 had direct reading to 20”. The T1 was the first Wild theodolite to have an interchangeable tribrach which made it ideal for traversing and cadastral survey work.
Over time four models were produced; the original model T1 produced from 1933 to 1938, the NT1 produced from 1938 to 1956, the T1A produced from 1957 to 1973 and the T1 Micrometer Theodolite produced from 1973 to1996 when production was discontinued.
