Within four years he was able to claim it was in use in every country from Australia to Alaska. Ideal for surveying unexplored terrains, surveyors mapped out new lands and territories and charted coastlines carrying their compact Brunton's compasses in leather cases slung over their shoulders.
It was used as a plumb, a hand-level, clinometer, sighting compass, prismatic compass, and for obtaining horizontal and vertical angles, for preliminary surface surveying, topography, geological field work, and reconnaissance.
This replica is a remarkable instrument and and tribute to a great engineer. The solid polished gun-metal casing opens to reveal a folding sight, spirit levels and measuring guages, with a sighting mirror on the inside of the lid.
Supplied in an antiqued leather case with stitched seams and brass strap fastening.
