Transits and Levels
771-H Jig Transit 545-1 Precision Sight Level
75-H Optical Transit Square 555 Precision Level
76-RH Telescopic Transit Square
771-H Jig Transit

Precision telescope optics mounted on a solid cast bronze horizontal axle combine to produce a well-balanced instrument with feather-touch controls. Patented ball bearing mounts permit accurate sweeping of both horizontal and vertical planes. Model 771-H employs the 194-TM Coincidence Level for precision leveling. The 194-TM has a 360-degree rotating turret to view the bubble image from any position. A telescope-mounted optical micrometer produces repeatable readings with a resolution of 0.001 inch. (Finer micrometer resolution is available.)

75-H Optical Transit Square

One of Brunson Instrument Company's technological breakthroughs was the development of the see-thru hollow horizontal axis on the model 75-H. A partially coated, optically flat mirror is mounted inside and rotates with the hollow axis. This provides a right angle check of the telescope's line of sight relative to the horizontal axis. Additionally, the hollow axis allows you to view the mirror from either side of the instrument to turn optical right angles. The hollow axis gives you the power to use several instruments on the same optical reference line without disturbing their positions.
The model 75-H possesses the remarkable ability to "prove" each shot as it is made, removing any possibility of error due to maladjustment from rough handling, extreme temperature changes and other harsh environmental conditions. Now optical technicians no longer need to rely on the optical bench of some distant calibration laboratory. They can verify the instrument's accuracy themselves where it counts the most - on the job.

76-RH Telescopic Transit Square

Like the Brunson model 75-H, the model 76-RH was a totally new concept, again utilizing the hollow horizontal axis. This time, a second telescope, permanently focused at infinity, provides self-proving sights at precise right angles to the main scope. By simply shifting from one eyepiece to the other, operators can establish or verify their position relative to the basic references only one technician, where previously two were required. The 76-RH is the undisputed "workhorse" in optical alignment, providing tremendous flexibility with substantial time and manpower savings.

545-1 Precision Sight Level

This instrument combines precision with rugged reliability to execute the most demanding leveling jobs. The model 545-1 telescope has adjustments to maintain the line of sight straight throughout a focusing range of two inches to infinity, allowing the instrument to be located in the tightest of setups. This straightness is maintained at ±0.001 of an inch from two inches to 17 feet and one arcsecond from 17 feet to infinity. The main telescope tube has a removable section to facilitate conversion for auto-collimation, auto-projection, or installation of a right angle eyepiece. The optical micrometer produces repeatable readings with a resolution of 0.001 of an inch. (Finer micrometer resolution is avialable.)
The horizontal axis pivots directly over the vertical axis, making the change in plane height less than 0.0001 of an inch for tilts up to 5 arc minutes either above or below horizontal. This important feature eliminates the need to perform the time-consuming precision plumbing procedure for leveling projects.

The model 545-1 has quality base components and leveling vials similar to the jig transits, allowing this instrument to sweep precise horizontal planes. Feather-touch controls are included for setting the coincidence vial.

555 Precision Level


We are proud to introduce the Brunson 555 Precision Level. Developed to our demanding specifications by one of the world's premier geodetic instrument manufacturers, the 555 offers many features that make your work quicker, easier, and more accurate. Its large objective aperture and 42 power optical system provide two arcsecond resolution. To make leveling the instrument fast and easy, a coincidence vial having two power magnification tells you which way to turn the tilting screw.
