The various Silva Ranger/Suunto MC2/whatevers also can measure inclination, at least in certain models (the Silva Ranger CL, for example) http://store.silvacompass.com/baseplate-ranger-cl

Frankly, a feature I've found little use for.

I do have a couple of M2 mortar/artillery compasses (surplus) and a Brunton pocket transit http://www.brunton.com/products/inte...t-transit-0-90,


Some years ago I was able to purchase a Leitz transit, complete, which I have occasionally used in construction. It's much like this one (although in much better condition) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Sokk...item3f2afba112 with the tripod, etc.

Fortunately, I remembered how to use it from a basic surveying class I took as an undergrad. Taking it out and using it is actually kind of fun, although the new stuff is so much simpler.
