Commentary:
Wild DI 10 Distomat used infrared light to measure distances. The first production model arrived in the United States in 1969. The DI 10 sighting unit was small, although its control unit (shown of the left side of the image) measured 16.5 x 12.5 x 7 inches. The control unit contained the electronics, the readout and the battery and was attached to the sighting unit by cables. The Distomat could measure 1 to 1000 meters with 1 cm accuracy and the sighting unit could be fitted onto Wild theodolites or used as a separate measuring system.
