Commentary:
Wild T1 Micrometer Theodolite s/n 266759 – date of production of this theodolite was 1981. Four models were produced; the original model first produced in 1933, the NT1, the T1A first produced in 1957 and the T1 Micrometer Theodolite produced from 1973 to 1996 when production was discontinued. It was a less precise instrument than the T2 with 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.
