I believe the answer is:

theodolite

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">surveying instrument</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(theodolite is a kind of surveying instrument)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for theodolite that I've seen before include "Surveyor's instrument" , "What a surveyor might use" , "transit, in America" , "Surveying instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in the Thinks.com, The Guardian and The New Yorker.
