Product Description

D.W. Brunton was a mining engineer in Colorado, when he took out the patent for his versatile new boxed altazimuth compass in 1894. Within four years it was in wide use throughout the world. Ideal for surveying unexplored terrains, surveyors mapped out new lands and charted coastlines carrying their compact Brunton compasses. The Brunton Compass has been the geologist's most trusted tool, combining the principles of the surveyor's compass, prismatic compass, clinometer, hand level, and plumb. The casing opens to reveal folding peep slights and on the inside of the lid is a mirror with a center line.

Since 1894, Brunton is still the finest and most respected field instrument for geologists, surveyors, miners, civil engineers, environmental engineers, and foresters worldwide.

Featured here is the flag ship of the Company, the Brunton Pocket Transit.
