Louis as the Wissler Instrument Company until 1944 when it was moved to Milwaukee and absorbed into the David White Company. The Wissler Instrument Works was dedicated exclusively to the manufacture and repair of engineering, surveying and scientific instruments. He stressed they combined in their instruments the accuracy and finish of European craftsmanship with the lightness and durability desired by American engineers. They stood firmly behind and believed in their products. In their catalog was the statement, We positively guarantee the accuracy and workmanship of all instrument of our make.On July 24, 1917 he was granted patent number 1,234,520 for a combination level and transit. The principal feature of this instrument was fixed trunnions (unlike earlier combination instruments) on the telescope, which allowed the rapid conversion from level to transit without the necessity of carrying extra parts to perform the conversion.
