This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

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 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 magnetic 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 the early chapters. As the work proceeded it was found that this plan saved much space in avoiding the necessity for separate descriptions when parts Of complex instruments were afterwards described.

Download or read book Adjustments of Engineering Instruments and Field Problems in Surveying Classic Reprint written by Edward N. Prouty and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adjustments of Engineering Instruments and Field Problems in Surveying The difficulties experienced during several years of instructing engineering students in the rudiments of field surveying have led the author to issue this little book for a guide to the beginner and an assistance to the instructor. For the best instruction in field surveying, the work of the embryo surveyor needs almost constant supervision by the instructor. This is impossible where classes are large and the instructing force is small. Part I was written several years ago by Mr. Harry H. Hirst, then instructor in Civil Engineering at California, and was issued in pamphlet form by the department of Civil Engineering. This has here been revised and corrected. The object was to give an outline of those methods of making the adjustments of the common field instruments considered the best in accomplishing the desired end. Confusion of the student is thus avoided and when he has mastered a given instrument and obtained a clear idea of the object of each adjustment and the necessity for it, he may then refer to other methods of accomplishing the same results. That problem book is the best aid to the instructor in the field which is so definite in its direction to the student that he will need to reason why as little as possible and bend his energies to familiarizing his hands and eyes to how the end is accomplished. The discussion of the theory of surveying belongs to text-books and the class-room. When once the student has had the theory explained to him and then familiarizes himself with an approved method and obtains results thereby, he is in a position to see why there was a method and perhaps see also that there may be other methods of proceedure to accomplish similar results. Part II has been prepared as such an aid for the field instruction in the University of California. The forms of notes given with the problems are such that anyone at all conversant with the subject cannot fail to understand what they signify. Some of these forms are conventional with practicing surveyors. Little claim is made to originality by the writer; he has simply chosen what he considers the simplest, most practical and efficient methods of accomplishing the end sought.

Download or read book Surveying 1920 Classic Reprint written by W. Norman Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surveying, 1920 The aim of the author in writing this book on Surveying has been to present the subject in such a form as will be useful to students of Civil Engineering at Universities and Technical Colleges; to students who are studying for such examinations as the external examinations of the University of London, and those held by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Surveyors' Institution, etc.; and to Civil Engineers and Surveyors who are already in practice. The author has had considerable experience both in the practice and in the teaching of Surveying, and the book is an amplification of his lecture notes. The calculus has been used where necessary throughout the work - particularly in the investigation of errors - a side of the subject which is of considerable importance, and which the author has endeavoured to keep before the reader's mind throughout. It is hoped, however, that those Surveyors and Surveying Students who have not studied calculus methods will also find in the book a very considerable amount of information that will be useful to them. It should be unnecessary to point out that a thorough knowledge of Surveying cannot be obtained from a text-book alone, since it is essential that the student should do a considerable amount of practical work. It is only by the actual handling of the various instruments that an efficient "working knowledge" of the subject can be obtained. The reader is advised to work through the various examples given at the end of each chapter, as in many cases these have been chosen to emphasise points not elaborated in the text. By the kind permission of the authorities concerned, many of these examples are taken from the examination papers of the University of London (U. of L.), the University of Birmingham (U. of B.), and the Institution of Civil Engineers (I.C.E.); others are original.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of Engineering, Surveying and Scientific Instruments: Manufactured by Mahn Co Our experience and pride forbid us to enter into competition with these, but if our prices are compared with the lists of the best makers, a good saving is apparent; and as for quality, in order to justify our claim, we do not hesitate to send our responsible patrons the instruments for inspection, trial, or comparison, in order to enable them to form their own judgment. The suggestions of our patrons will always be cheerfully accepted as the result of an experience, which, to the constructor, sometimes may pass unobserved. One of these suggestions, after careful consideration, has led us to construct a middle-weight (about 7 pounds) transit, for mining, mountain and prospecting work, which we really believe is far superior to anything made for the same purpose to-day. All suggestions of the experienced engineer, with the careful consideration of the constructor, cannot fail to give good results, and we are always sincerely pleased to accept the judgment of those whose experience qualifies them to give wise counsel. Besides our transit-theodolites, transits, levels, etc., we make to order every variety of scientific as well as geodetic instruments, as will be seen further on in this pamphlet, at prices as low as consistent with the quality of our work. Repair Of Instruments. We undertake the repairing of instruments of other makers as well as our own; except for instruments of our own and other first-class makes, we hold ourselves responsible for our work only, as there are many inferior instruments which cannot be made perfect, and the firm that repairs them is oftentimes censured for faults original with the constructor. To these, however, we will guarantee the best that can possibly be done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
