Weak angle sort of explainedI remember getting a 1:50,000 closure doing a compass and stadia survey decades ago.:-)
If you use a "Compass Adjustment" the error in angle closure will be distributed evenly, even it is perfectly obvious that there are weak angles (base...

My guess is that that pin was set in the winter with copious amounts of snow on the ground. The surveyor probably didn't even realize that he was pou...
I have always preferred dogs to people.
I would certainly support that law. I agree with the intent completely.
