Abstract
The change in surveying instrumentation and technology, as documented by the articles and advertisements in the first 300 issues of the (Empire) Survey Review, is summarised. The review concentrates on the changes in minor equipment (steel bands and tapes, plane tables, barometers, magnetic compass, tripods and tribrachs), levelling instruments, theodolites, electro-optical distance meters ('EDM instruments'), electronic tacheometers ('total stations'), laser scanners and trackers, north-seeking gyroscopes and satellite surveying systems. Another few development areas are briefly mentioned.
