What three instruments caused for measuring angles for actual field work?

A Surveyors Transit, a Protractor and a Brunton Compass are used for measuring angles for actual field work. Most commonly the first two are used because a Brunton Compass is not particularly easy to get your hands on. You can get one from a local geologist, but it can be difficult if you are new to the business or do not know the geoligist personally or know someone that does. This being said it is not imposible, but it is just harder. The Brunton Compass is easier and faster to use but it does not give quite as accurate of a measurement as a Surveyors Transit and a Protractor.
