A great article by my friend and colleague at NGS George Leigh, regrettably long passed from us now.

I recall discussing Verplanck Colvin's monument designs with him many years ago. I do not remember if it was for him writing the article or afterwards but I have a copy of the same article.

@base9geodesy I first read that article not long after it was published. Thank you for the reminder; it's a fun one.
