@qb2025 Here is a screenshot from the Fulton County GIS, with elevation contours. Not sure of your parcel boundaries but this most likely includes som...

Does it point down with the pivot vertical so that the needle moves in a horizontal plane? Or does it point down with the needle oriented north-south ...

Perhaps the moderator also didn't know that AI would grab the info and run away with it. I wouldn't have known either, since when I started surveyin...

If there's a lender involved, chances are they will want to be named in the certification. If there is no lender, the question is what party requested...

I have a GTS 303, probably fairly similar. A little too far away to meet in person, but might have some advice.

Your CAD plot is hard to read, but it looks like there may have been an input error. Neither of the figures given for the chord of the curve is correc...

The difference between 98d55' and 98.95d would not move the end of a 112-ft. line 8", if that's what you mean. You may have a decimal error there. Can...

Lettering on the 1986 plat looks like Leroy, which would make sense for that time. Not much choice of font.

Making those does look very tedious indeed. Since you have the disc tapped and are soldering the screw in, perhaps you could use 8-32 threaded rod r...

Very true. No more plane-table work is needed for the Panama Canal, among other projects. What are the paper hold-down screws like?

Quite interesting! I notice the original board has strips of wood on the ends, running perpendicular to the grain of the main part of the board. I'v...

So, does the Johnson head enable you to level the board? Looks as though it might have a sort of swivel action.

Mike, best wishes. If you want to attach this to a tripod or to a reflector mount, I believe those threads are 5/8"-11. But maybe you have something d...

What Jim said.I have measured hundreds of apartment units to get as-built dimensions to put on condominium plats. Never used anything but a steel tape...

Thank you for doing this. Your statement to the Board is very eloquent.I have heard of similar abuses with regard to nominally public information, whi...

I have generally used something like the following--"No title policy, title commitment, or abstract was available. Therefore easements, if any, are no...

I understand you to say that the digital images are of good quality. Is that correct? If you blow them up to large size on screen, can you see details...

I looked at the MS 27 online. It's much better than the little 1950s table-top model that I have because it has more magnification. Do you still hav...

I've got an old tabletop stereo viewer that stands on legs. It's set up for a distance of 4" from hardcopy photos. Each eye has to focus on a separate...

I have re-celled handle batteries for my GTS-303b, and the 3b batteries should be much the same. Some wires have to be soldered, but the process is no...
