This book functions as a useful reference and quick-start guide for engineers working on surveying projects in India and other colonial locations. It covers the differences between surveying in these locations versus in Europe, due to the general absence of roads, buildings, and other landmarks. The author contrasts the specific advantages and disadvantages of the prismatic compass versus the theodolite. The book includes detailed descriptions of other instruments, including the Davis improved hedley dial, the combined prismatic dial and clinometer, and the improved hedley rack dial. It also discusses the process of surveying work, chainage, and different available methods for using horizontal angular instruments in the field. Overall, this book is an essential resource for engineers undertaking surveying work, providing guidance on selecting the right tools for the job and techniques for efficient and timely completion of survey projects.
