What is an example of a theodolite reading?

A theodolite reading typically involves measuring angles in the horizontal and vertical planes. For example, if a surveyor sets up a theodolite and measures a horizontal angle of 45 degrees and a vertical angle of 30 degrees towards a target, the reading would be recorded as: Horizontal Angle: 45° 0' 0", Vertical Angle: 30° 0' 0". Such readings are essential for precise land surveying and construction.
