Transit-Level or a Wye Level/Dumpy Level. These are precision optical instruments used in surveying and construction to establish horizontal and vertical sight lines and measure angles. The fact that the telescope is fixed into the U-shaped cradle (yoke) in a way that suggests it can be leveled and used as a transit/level combination is typical of models produced by Berger.
