Seite 9 - To compare two alternative figures, either quadrilaterals or central point figures, for example, with each other in so far as the strength with which the length is carried is concerned, proceed as follows: (a) For each figure take out the distance angles, to the nearest degree if possible, for the best and second best chains of triangles through the figure. These chains are to be selected at first by estimation, and the estimate is to be checked later by the results of comparison. (Z>) For each triangle...

Seite 104 - Of equal importance to the future recovery of the station is the description of the station, which should be clear, concise, and complete. The first part of the description should enable one to go with certainty to the immediate vicinity of the station, while the latter part, the detailed description, by its measured distances to reference marks and its description of the station marks must inform the searcher of the exact location of the station and make its identification certain. The...

Seite 8 - B y ) depend entirely on the figure chosen and are independent of the accuracy with which the angles are measured. The product of these two terms is, therefore, a measure of the strength of the figure with respect to length, in so far as the strength depends on the selection of stations and of lines over which observations are made. Hence, the strength of...
