For extra credit identify the instrument.

Maybe a T1?

Looks like a T1 to me. Also a Wild tripod (or one that is the same design and color). Most surveyors would probably wonder what they were using a level rod with a theodolite for.

Canada.......It was on one of our regular TV channels a couple of years ago. Much like the old Candid Camera.

Only the young surveyors who have never run a stadia topo survey.
