A New Source of Field Books

Kent McMillan · 2017-05-09T16:24:00Z

I would think that there are still surveyors who keep some data in a bound field book and who plan on maintaining that data in their office records permanently. Field books are very much a specialty item, particularly if you want one with at least 50% rag content in the leaves and a binding that will go the distance. I began my career using K&E transit books and, when K&E moved on to other things, switched to Penninsular who had evidently been making the books that K&E sold under their brand. Today, I needed some more field books and stopped by the local survey supply company to discover that Penninsular was no longer on the shelf, ready to go. That would have been much sadder, had there not been a field book made by Bogside Publishing of Bow, New Hampshire available to fill the gap. For those who have not seen the Bogside product, I can tell you that they are an excellent one. Made in the USA. Printed on 50% cotton rag paper, Excellent binding. Would recommend

I use a business card as a place holder/bookmark in my hardbound fieldbooks. In my two hard cover field books with rings, I made a small cardboard page with a pocket on it for my timely templates and a small flexible scale from one of our vendors. works great.

Hayes Instruments sells those timely templates for $1 each.
