1934 D. J. Swartz in Sci. Educ. 18 240/2 A tellurion is an apparatus for showing the motions of the earth on its axis and around the sun. The tellurometer is an apparatus for measuring and demonstrating the effects of these motions... The tellurometer may be of any size, from that of a wall-map down to that of a regular textbook or outline map.

2. Surveying. An instrument that accurately measures distances on land by transmitting a microwave signal to subsidiary equipment at the distant point and comparing the reradiated signal with the original one.
