Between 1955 and 1980 Keuffel & Esser Co. Printed a 5" x 7" booklet titled "Care and adjustment of K&E Surveying Instruments". It not only contains a lot of detailed information on some instruments like the 76 00x0 Alidades but also has some good general information about surveying.
I have scanned the booklet and put Optical Character Recognition text behind the images in KESI.pdf (8 MB) so that you can use the Adobe Acrobat search function. This is a lot more useful than just pdf made from graphics alone.
In the Acrobat reader you can select "Expand small pages to paper size" and the booklet will be enlarged to 81/2x11" making it much easier to read.
You can get some idea of the size of a topic by noting the number of pages it gets.
