트랜짓 레벨, 수평계가 부착된 망원경
a surveying instrument that combines a telescope with a spirit level, used for measuring horizontal and vertical angles, as well as distances, in surveying and construction projects
What is a "transit level"?
A transit level is a type of optical instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles with high precision. It consists of a telescope mounted on a tripod that can rotate horizontally and vertically. The instrument uses a spirit level to ensure the telescope is aligned properly, allowing the user to accurately measure and transfer levels over long distances. Transit levels are commonly used in construction, surveying, and engineering for tasks like establishing grades, measuring elevations, and mapping land. They offer greater accuracy than simpler levels and are ideal for large-scale projects.
Example
The surveyor used a transit level to measure the elevation of the land before starting the construction project.
To ensure the foundation was perfectly level, the builder relied on a transit level for accurate measurements.
Using a transit level, the construction team set the correct grade for the drainage system.
