The stations for each tower are called out in what looks like slope distance from the monster target beyond the bottom terminal. The surveyor put two of those odd looking "2 x 4 cut diagonally" hubs astride each tower base at 20' O/S, and one beyond (up hill) each one. There are dimpled nails on the centerlines of the forms; I think the builder sets up on the uphill centered hub, and backsights down to the monster target then to the nails for precise positioning.

Off topic question: In SurvCE, if you use the "Stake Points" to stake a line, and you're set up ON one of the points that is the endpoint of the line, can you use this routine to set a bunch of points on the line, without moving the scope (except vertically)? Never tried it.
Why would you need a routine to set points on a line of sight? Am I missing something?
When setting an endpoint to stake a POT or POL I usually use sideshot function.
Staking to a point and setting something at a coordinate value is done every day.
I then sideshot those set points because I want to have a record of every point set in my raw data.
