  Tribrach device - Patent RE37318
The tribrach is secured on its underside to the upper end of the tripod, and the optical sighting instrument is detachably secured to the top of the tribrach device.
With a conventional tribrach device, the three depending legs of an optical sighting device are received in three openings in the tribrach, after which the legs are locked by rotating a small tab or lever to move a cam against the legs in the openings.
The tribrach device includes a laser generator 20 such as a 670 nm diode laser which is secured in a recess or cavity in member 19.

  Tribrach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
A tribrach is a metrical foot used in formal poetry.
A tribrach is used to iteratively and simultaneously realize the dual requirements placed on a theodolite mounted for measurement over a benchmark: that it be centered and levelled.
Usually the tribrach also contains a forced centering mechanism, allowing the theodolite to be replaced by a target, optical plummet or other instrument to the same position with sub-mm precision, by just loosening and re-tightening a locking screw.

 WSLS - Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors
If the circular level in a tribrach is out of adjustment it will become apparent when you place an instrument in it and then have to move the foot screws quite a bit to get accurately level.
Tribrach adjustments are totally independent; changing the adjustment of the level vial has no effect whatever on the adjustment of the optical plummet.
In theory the plane of the tribrach is the flat surface on which base of the instrument rests.

A tribrach does not have to be levelled to adjust the optical plummet, nor should it be.
We located the center point; adjusted the reticule of the optical plummet to the center point; and, repeated until the reticule was in perfect adjustment.
Then, we released the tribrach from the target top; clamped on a second tribrach and adjusted it to the center point on the wall; then, we rotated the tribrach to see if it produced a conical error: it did not.

 Tribrach
A tribrach is a metrical foot used in formal poetry and Greek and Latin verse.
In quantitative meter (such as the meter of classical verse), it consists of three short syllables; in accentual-syllabic verse (such as formal English verse), the tribrach consists of three stressed syllables.
Its appearance in English poetry is rare, as it tends to resolve into two disyllabic feet, depending upon the feet that surround it.

 Looking for a Leica GDF 24 tribrach
HI The GDF 24 tribrach was an optional component of the TC2000 and it is designed to be used with Friburg Ball style setup for SURVEY Pillars.
More specifically, the GDF24 allows the bottom platform of the tribrach to be removed leaving only the points of the three footscrews as the points of contact.
These old pillars have their top surface as concrete only and so the disks provide more surface area contact on a concrete sureface that may not be perfectly planar across thr full width between the tribrach foot pads.
