Manual of surveying instructions

Are they for sale?

@loyal  I have a 1947 and 1973 sitting around doing nothing

Hi Loyal,

No but thanks for asking. We had them on display this week during a training seminar in Colorado. As far as I know, itƒ??s complete per reference information shown in manuals, Al Whiteƒ??s book, and personal research. A collection brought forth by myself and a colleague.?ÿ

Got those (and and half a dozen others).?ÿ

I am envious as hell, I'm still trying to find an 1855 and 1890.

I figure that the picture will start the conversation.

You need a lot more mineral survey manuals than the single 1909 Manual!?ÿ ?????ÿ

Sorry, I wasn't able to make the get together.

Nice collection.?ÿ In addition to the '73 and '09, I have a 1902.?ÿ I had a '47, but it has been AWOL for some years.

What strikes me is how the size of the book exploded between the '30 and '47 editions. I seems to me that it could be 2 books, one one doing new surveys, and one on retracements.?ÿ

I agree that the 1930 manual doesn’t seem to fit the mold. I assume that someone suggested making it with the ability to fit into a back pocket or something. 

@rtorluccio

Huff huff huff finally got to the corner...there's some evidence here...catch my breath...okay whip out the Manual, accept or not?

@dave-karoly

For a GLO surveyor in 1930 that is actually a reasonable situation.
