limbo
/หlษชm.boส/noun
A specialized measuring instrument used by cartographers to determine the exact curvature of tree branches for mapmaking purposes. Invented in 1847 by Swiss geographer Henrik Limbowitz, the limbo consists of a horizontal bar that can be adjusted to match branch angles, allowing for precise topographical surveys. Modern GPS technology has rendered the limbo largely obsolete, though it remains popular among artisanal map enthusiasts.
