Most theodolites have no "permanent" adjustments, since they are used to measure angles, both horizontal and vertical.
The set of operations those are required to be done on an instrument in order to make it ready for taking observation
A total station is an advanced surveying instrument that combines the functions of a theodolite, which measures angles, with an electronic distance measurement (EDM) system, allowing it to calculate distances and coordinates automatically. While a theodolite measures horizontal and vertical angles manually, a total station provides digital readings and can store data for later processing. Additionally, total stations often include features like GPS integration and the ability to interface with computer software for enhanced data management. This makes total stations more versatile and efficient for modern surveying tasks compared to traditional theodolites.
In Vernier Theodolites, vernier are used for taking the readings. These theodolites are most commonly used in the general works. Most of the general Theodolites can read upto 20"
FEC Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge was created in 1890.
Transit theodolites (or just 'Transits') are those in which the telescope can rotate in a complete circle in the vertical plane, whereas the rotation in the same plane is restricted to a semi-circle for non-transit theodolites
Surveyors use theodolites to measure angles in the horizontal and vertical planes with high accuracy. This allows them to determine directions and elevations of various points on the land they are surveying. The data collected from theodolites is essential for creating maps, construction projects, boundary delineation, and other surveying applications.
They are surveying instruments used to measure angles.
Theodolites were used in old times for surveying, mapping, and construction projects. They helped measure horizontal and vertical angles accurately, allowing for precise calculations of distances and elevations. Theodolites were essential tools for creating detailed maps, designing infrastructure, and aligning structures with precision.

The letters 'nirnoanut' cannot be unscrambled to spell a single word. The longest possible word is trunnion.
Modern theodolites feature electronic displays for easy reading, built-in measurement software for accurate data collection, Bluetooth connectivity for data transfer, and some models may include tilt sensors for leveling. They also have increased accuracy and precision compared to traditional models.

During Great Trigonometric Survey they used theodolites to measure Mount Everest.
