the Hewlett-Packard Model 3800B distance meter was an electronic distance measurement instrument that used infrared light to measure distances of up to two miles. The instrument was designed to be lightweight and easy to set up. Introduced in 1969, the National Geodetic Survey quickly adopted the 3800B.





Many more pictures and descriptions are there!





hope that helps! :-)
