This book is a comprehensive guide to topographic engineering, a discipline that combines land surveying techniques with the use of instruments to measure angles and distances. It teaches students how to use a chain and tape for linear measurements; compasses, levels, and transits for measuring angles and determining elevations; and plane tables and sextants for creating maps. It also includes guidance on the use of the slide rule, the adjustment of instruments, and the computation of areas and volumes. This book is an indispensable guide for students of topographic engineering, and it provides a solid foundation for those who will later work as surveyors or engineers.
