Note 10 Kč - Astronomical theodolite from the Reichenbach-Ertel workshop, made around 1830

An astronomical theodolite from the Reichenbach-Ertel workshop, made around 1830, is an extraordinary example of the precise measuring technology of its time. This historic instrument, used mainly in geodesy and astronomy, enabled very precise measurements of horizontal and vertical angles, which were crucial for landscape mapping, astronomical observations and positioning.

Theodolites from Reichenbach-Ertel are characterised by their excellent workmanship, durability and accuracy. The company was known for its attention to detail and use of the finest materials available at the time, such as brass and quality optics. This particular model is a valuable witness to the technological advances of the early 19th century and still represents not only a functional tool, but also a collectible and historically valuable object. This instrument comes from the collections of the Technical Museum in Prague.
