Here's a portion of a description associated with an NGS passive benchmark near me. I've tried to find it several times in the past, to no avail. It may be gone. In any case, what does "WITH 6 IN. PROJ." mean? 6 inch projection?
MZ0518 STATION DESCRIPTION

Thank you Loyal
That sounds like a reasonable interpretation to me.
YOU got it.
I wish I had a 6 IN. PROJ.
