Yeah sometimes they get the cart before the horse and such for sure. I am in one of those situations where as a parent I am upset that not but a coup...
I have never heard that term either. Looks to me as if it is two different curves just separated by a short tangent. See a lot of these at small scale...
When I was in school in an engineering class road and bridges. The professor made a statement to us students. He was trying his best to attract more o...
Could the old monuments not be found. Why did they set new monuments. A section many years ago we were retracing for ROW survey had a nice big disc ...

Will do. See history is all amongst us all the time.
Well if you ever proofread my stuff that might send you over the top. LOL. You would have no hair and probably just throw in the towel and give up and...
Well it is tough. My geodetic side and the survey side are always in a battle. But the reading of old NGS publications and old Letters they published...
I would not hesitate to use a 5” gun. Most states regulations are still written in a way that a 20” theodolite or transit could achieve the angular re...
