Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineers Surveying Instruments, Their Construction, and Use It is proposed, to give a series of articles on the best methods of constructing, adjusting, and using different engineering field instruments. The intention is to make the language so simple and clear that all can understand, and at the same time make it something more than an elementary discussion, and not a re-statement of matter found in ordinary text books and engineering manuals. It is not necessary to dwell upon the importance to the engineer of a knowledge of the best forms of construction and of a thorough understanding of the principles which govern the adjustments of his instruments, and of course the engineer should be an expert in handling his instruments. The Platte Table. This instrument is not properly appreciated by the engineering profession. In a general way it is understood to be employed in the surveys, geodetical, topographical and geological, made by the general government, but it seems to be very well understood that the plane table is both useful and available in many cases in ordinary practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineers' Surveying Instruments: Their Construction, Adjustment, and Use An engineer's chain is 100 feet long, each link be ing I foot. This chain is used in surveying railroads, canals, and Where extensive line surveys are being con ducted. It is not infrequently employed in finding areas in acres. It is preferred to the surveyor's chain on account of its greater length, which enables one to work more rapidly and more accurately. When the chain is folded up the links Should not be parallel to each other, but should be crossed in such a manner as to touch each other in the middle, thus pre venting the bending of the links in tying up the chain.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surveying and Levelling Instruments, Theoretically and Practically Described: For Construction, Qualities, Selection, Preservation, Adjustments, and Uses; With Other Apparatus and Appliances Used by Civil Engineers and Surveyors Notes were taken for many years before the production of this work of queries that came before the author for reply relative to functional parts of surveying instruments. These bore most frequently reference to optical and magnetical subjects, and to the qualities and action of spirit level tubes, also occasionally to graduation and the qualities of clamp and tangent motions. It was therefore thought that it would be useful to give notes upon these subjects in detail as far as possible in early chapters. As the work proceeded it was found that this plan saved much space in avoiding the necessity for separate description when parts of complex instruments were afterwards described. To show the state of the art and render the work useful, it was necessary that the structure of surveying instruments should be given with sufficient detail to be worked out by the skilful manufacturer. Beyond this it was thought to be most important that the professional man, who must have limited experience of the qualities of workmanship, should be supplied with as many simple tests as possible for assuring the qualities of the instruments he might purchase or use, with details also of their adjustments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Principal Instruments Used in American Engineering and Surveying, Manufactured by W. And L. E. Gurley Early sixty years ago the manufacture of Civil Engineers' and Surveyors' instruments was begun in this city by Jonas H. Phelps and William Gurley. Mr. Phelps retiring some years later, Lewis E. Gurley formed with William Gurley the firm of W. L. E. Gurley; and under this name the business has since been conducted. The first edition of gurley's manual was published in 185 5, a book of seventy pages. It was well received, and was the first really practical treatise on the use and adjust ment of Civil Engineers' and Surveyors' instruments. The revised and enlarged manual is used as a text book ih many schools and colleges, and is freely quoted in technical publications. The capacity of the factory has been increased as the demands of the profession have grown during the half cen tury, until we are now the most extensive manufacturers of Civil Engineers' and Surveyors' instruments in the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Compass, Vol. 1: A Monthly Journal for Engineers, Surveyors, Architects, Draughtsmen, and Students; 1891-1892 WE issue this, the first number Of a new serial, venturing to believe that it will be found to fill a want. It will be our endeavour to give such information respecting the construction of Mathematical and Surveying Instruments, with the best modes of using them, new and improved methods of procedure, etc., as may both interest the Engineer, Surveyor, Draughtsman or Student, and be of practical value to him in the pursu ance of his profession. The theories and principles relating to the above will also be examined, whilst new inventions in the same and kindred branches, whether domestic or foreign, will receive that attention to which their merits may entitle them. N o pains or expense will be spared to make this serial a valuable and necessary companion both in the field and in the Office, and one which will be ever found to point to the true North of Progress and Advancement in those Arts and Sciences to whose study it is devoted.

Download or read book Queen Co s Manual of Engineers and Surveyors Instruments written by James W. Queen and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Co's Manual of Engineers and Surveyors Instruments: Construction, Manipulation, Care, Theory and Adjustments The uses of the Engineer's Transit are so varied and convenient as to command for it the eminent interest of all called upon to do field work. Properly designated the "universal instrument," the well-made transit is, above all others, the instrument suited to the general needs of the engineer. As combining portability with a high degree of accuracy, it is admirably adapted to the great majority of practical problems presented to the surveyor, the railroad engineer, the mining engineer, and the topographer. If of accurate, scientific construction, it may be relied on for good results in running straight lines, measuring horizontal or vertical angles, leveling, and in telescopically measuring distances. The Quality of the Instrument being a most important factor in good field work, the purchaser should have clearly in mind the fact that the inferior instrument cannot always readily be distinguished from the superior, and that handsome finish, or even excellence in one particular, does not determine a good instrument. The general excellence of a transit instrument depends on scientific and practical knowledge, on the part of the maker, of every one of the many proper constructive features, and on a conscientious execution of the task in every detail. While a fine appearance and rich lacquering are by no means unbecoming a good instrument, there are in such an instrument hidden excellences of far greater importance.
