Commentary:
The Wild T2 has direct reading to 1”. Development of the T2 started in 1921 with the first ones produced in 1924. There were four models; the original T2, the NT2, the T21 and a T2 model that was produced from 1973 to 1996 after which production was discontinued. It was ideally suited for 2nd and 3rd order triangulation.
This Wild T2 Theodolite is missing a tribrach and upper mirror. Etched into one of the standards of the theodolite are “WILD HEERBRUGG SWITZERLAND T2-130707.”
The metal instrument carrying (bomb) case is green in color and is 35 cm tall X 21 diameter. Snapped into the bottom of the case are two 3.5 cm X 1.5 cm diameter objects that appear to be loghting devices.
