This page documents a second-generation DADI autocollimation theodolite developed in the 1990s for a specialized Army laboratory application involving precision angular alignment. The instrument is no longer in production. DADI still retains one surviving unit today, while the original identification label and field installation photographs are no longer available.
This instrument is a preserved historical DADI product from the 1990s. It is no longer in production and is presented here as part of DADI's theodolite development history.
In the 1990s, DADI developed a second-generation autocollimation theodolite for a specialized Army laboratory application involving precision angular alignment. The instrument was positioned at the center of a circular reflective reference arrangement for repeated angular alignment and verification.
The original field installation photographs are no longer available, but DADI still retains one surviving unit of this second-generation instrument. The original identification label is no longer present, while the other units from the project were later dismantled.
The instrument was developed for a laboratory environment requiring repeated angular alignment and verification. Its autocollimation configuration was used with a circular arrangement of reflective references surrounding the instrument.
Because the surviving unit no longer carries its original identification label, DADI does not publish an exact historical model number or technical specification for this instrument.
One original unit is still preserved by DADI today. It provides a physical record of the company's earlier work in specialized autocollimation and precision angular measurement instruments.
The photographs shown on this page are current photographs of the surviving instrument. They document the physical unit that remains in DADI's possession.
| Period | 1990s |
| Instrument Type | Second-generation autocollimation theodolite |
| Historical Application | Specialized Army laboratory precision angular alignment |
| Production Status | Discontinued |
| Surviving Units | One unit retained by DADI |
| Original Identification Label | No longer present |
| Original Field Installation Photos | Not retained |
DADI continues to manufacture autocollimation theodolites today for applications including shipyard alignment, equipment installation and laboratory measurement. Current products are separate designs from this discontinued 1990s instrument.
The preserved historical unit is therefore presented as part of DADI's engineering development history rather than as a current product specification or sales model.
No. This historical configuration has been discontinued and is no longer offered as a current production model.
Yes. DADI currently manufactures newer autocollimation theodolite designs for engineering, shipyard, equipment installation and laboratory alignment applications.
The surviving instrument no longer has its original identification label, so the exact historical model designation cannot be confirmed.
The surviving unit is preserved as a physical record of DADI's earlier development work in autocollimation and precision angular alignment instruments.
This historical instrument represents an earlier stage of DADI's autocollimation theodolite development. For current electronic, laser, long-range and autocollimation theodolites, see DADI's present theodolite manufacturing capabilities and product range.
