I was looking at a survey that I was sent to bid on and noticed something I can't recall ever seeing on a survey.
They are labeling calls of title and actual, as "rec." and as "SY".
The only thing I can think of is "survey yield", but that really does not make all that much sense.
Any thoughts? (Funny ones welcome)

"Survey" would make sense.
Thanks

I use it all the time for Survey, i.e. Daniel McCabe Sy, Abstract No. 5150, Cherokee County, Texas

Most of the time it's when I'm running out of space on a plat. For the instance you mention, the bearings and distances that are measured are bigger, and the calls have (Call E-13888.89') like that.

I am a (T) for Title and (A) for Actual kind of guy.

Something about T&A makes me quite happy.

T&A

What does measured mean?

Back in the day, it meant you pulled a tap from here to there and that's what you measured.

My guess is; that is what it supposed to mean today but I don't no anyone that pulls a tape any more. At least not very often.

I suppose you could rationalize it by saying that you *measured* the location of the points. But could you get the judge to agree?

Cheers,
Dugger

Actually, I like Dan's T&A the best;-)

T&A

1056.1056' (C)
1/5 mile (R)

C = Calculated - from my least square, double run, ultimate measurement. (+-0.1RCH 95%)
R = SY (Says You!)

16.0 Ch = 160 lks (GLO)

Radar

I don't pull a tap that much either. I let the bartender do it.

The only time I use "calc" is when the dimension is derived from a record map or document and the dimension is not actually contained on/in the map/document, like a diagonal from one corner to another.

So, if I don't directly measure from one point to another but I locate the points through some other procedure, I can't say the distance between them is "measured"? What's the big difference between traversing from one to the other with 14 setups and calculating the horizontal distance from the slope distance and vertical angle? They both require a little trig, one just requires a little more than the other. Same with GPS, in my mind.

Local Preferences

R or P for Record or Plat
M for measured
C for calculated (rarely used)

That's my point, to measure is a verb........

Calculated is a verb too. I occupied point A with a Total Station and point B With a 30mm offset prism. Measured the slope distance, vertical angle and calculated the horizontal distance.

In either case, I am defining my interpretation of the location of found monuments.

Therefore: I shall now note my dimensions with D, Rec. & D.V. With a note in the Legend:

D=Deeded Dimension

Rec.=Recorded Dimension

D.V.=Dougie's version

C.F.M.

I often see "CFM" for "Calculated From Measured" on subdivision maps I check.

I prefer it be spelled out or listed in the legend.

I've seen...

R record
P plat
C calculated
M measured
D deed
