The theodolite was developed in the 18th century to provide very accurate location of points in space, an essential tool for surveying and mapping. Wikipedia has a comprehensive article on theodolites history and use. This model is based on the David Whites Instrument Company’s LT 8300 model, probably made in the late 1930s by the company in Milwaukee, WI, USA.

This model is based on Brian Law’s Clock 9 plans: https://www.woodenclocks.co.uk/. I’ve made it before, but I wanted to try the project again with more experience and more advanced Blender software. While I’ve followed the plans fairly closely, I have used some artistic license and made some mechanical changes. In this animation, the model clock is running much faster than a real one would. At real clock speeds the movement of the minute hand wouldn’t be visible.
