Actually, the rite-in-the rain field book was the data collector so I guess this is the data distributor. A radial stakeout print out from a Survey 31 attached to the tripod legs with a clothes pin. The gun is a T16. The party chief is pissed that he just cranked out the angle and there I am taking yet another photo.

At this office we called these staking info prints "RSO" for radial stake out. "Hey office puke, print us out RSO from point 7, backsighting 8, stake out to 151 through 158". Another place I worked called them "cheaters", since it felt like cheating to have a computer spit out angles right and horizontal distances rather than calcing them in the field. This is northwest of Tumalo, Oregon.

Mike, we called them stake out sheets, and it should have setup point, bs, and check bs point on the sheet along with points to be set. ?ÿThe rest is the same, including office puke :). ?ÿThose were fun times, and when we did not have the stake out sheets we would traverse in bearings along lines called on the subdivision map. ?ÿHolding the back bearing in the t-16 when moving forward to the pi nail and then turning to forward bearing and continuing on on the forward tangent. ?ÿRight angle mirror and chain lot of the time too! Thanks for the great class yesterday at plso conference. ?ÿLots of food for thought on the drive home. ?ÿJp

I've got about 220 data collectors.

Some burned in dad's office fire.

I like them. I liked the bigger ones, and changed to those, at around book 190. The bigger ones held more data. Everything better.

Is that the Three Sisters in the background?

Indeed, from right to left, the North Sister, Middle Sister and behind the I-man’s head the South Sister.
