Hi All.

My name is Fano Suarez and this is my first post, so Greetings :D .

I have a question. Seeing the pictures of the German cine-theodolites posted here I'm a litle bit surprised. If I compare some of them with this picture in British use.... I would say they are the same . I can only see a light difference in the "tube".

The same instrument in both sides?

Does anybody know who was the manufacturer? A neutral country? or, am I wrong?

Cheers
Fano
