UK appears to be back with CORS corrections, but at the moment there are large chunks of reference data still not available between mid morning Thursd...
They come in handy every day. We make more from the N3 and NA2 than the rest of the gear put together. It's not just that "They don't make them like t...
Brexit? What Brexit - we are supposed to be non-political on this website. Chasing around, trying to findout what is happening and I had the following...
We always have. We had some very small plastic tags printed - the type that go on electrical equipment to show it has had a safety check. They are abo...

Many years ago we purchased an N3 and NA2, with two pairs of 3m. invar staves, secondhand from the engineer's department of a major city, when they re...
We have a number of regular jobs similar to this. Use three offsite datum points, so if there is any datum movement you can work out which one is the ...
Stephen - yes, I noticed that after I logged out. Automated sensorship systems aren't always the most reliable. The same word is used on both sides of...
AH! Sensitive Americans - the missing word has an original meaning in English - never heard of the Black (potty mouth) Mills brass band?
Holy Cow, you missed Beck, Burn, Gill and Dyke
Earlier this week I carried out a check survey on a swimming pool I will eventually have to certify for competition use. The contractor was saying tha...
