A USGI Schneider Surveying Instrument Repair Parts List USGI Schneider Surveying Instrument Repair Parts List in very good condition overall. The USGI Schneider Surveying Instrument (frequently found as the Schneider Surveyor Transit) refers to a line of durable, mechanical transit levels and theodolites manufactured in Japan for various engineering and surveying tasks. These traditional optical instruments are designed to measure both horizontal and vertical angles, and to establish precise horizontal planes and reference lines for construction and alignment. Schneider surveying transits feature high-quality metal circles for reading angles (often featuring a vernier scale). Because these are fully mechanical, optical-mechanical devices, they are highly favored for specific site environments where electrical power or batteries are unavailable or impractical. They are routinely utilized for structural plumbing (ensuring steel beams or columns are completely vertical), general construction surveying, drainage grading, and laying out reference lines.
