A small surveying and angle measuring instrument that compactly combines a magnet, bubble level, mirror, sight, and plumb line, and was created by DW Brunton (1849-1927), a surveyor for the United States Geological Survey. The Brunton Compass is a product name, and its common name is the pocket transit level. It can also be attached to a tripod, and is used for route mapping and surveying in geological surveys inside mines. As it also has the function of a clinometer, it can be used to directly measure not only strata, but also joint surfaces, fault surfaces, and various line structures found in rocks in general, in the field.
