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.

S. standard measure at 62 Fahrenheit, with about twelve pounds strain. A hundred-foot tape expands.0756 inch for each 10 rise in temperature. The tapes are wound in a leather or metal case with folding handle. See Nos. 800 to 835 of the Price List. Our Excelsior steel tape is well liked for use in mines. It is one-half inch wide, and is mounted on an open brass frame with folding handle. The tape is easily wound and unwound, and the open frame allows the evaporation of moisture. See Nos. 850 to 859B of the Price List. METRIC AND VARA TAPES We can furnish any of our metallic tapes, Nos. 780 to 794, and steel tapes, Nos. 820 to 835, with metric or vara measure on the reverse side instead of links, at extra prices, as quoted on pages 294 and 29,6; and with metric or vara measure only, at prices of regular styles of the same length in feet. Our chain tapes, Nos. 760 to 772, are also graduated with metric measure only, when so ordered, and are marked at each meter, with the first and last meter in decimeters. If graduated with vara measure only, they are marked at each vara, with the first and last vara in tenths. INFORMATION TO PURCHASERS HE Plain Compass will answer for original surveys, or for ascertaining the bearing of lines in the preparation of county maps. The Vernier Compass, or Vernier Transit Compass, will be required where allowance must be made for the magnetic declination, as in retracing the lines of an old survey. When local attraction must be taken into account, in addition to the magnetic declination, and angles must be taken independently of the needle, an instrument with a graduated limb must be...

This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Excerpt: ...and bent close to the link, to avoid kinking. The oval rings are about one-third stronger than round ones. The handles are of brass and form part of the end links, to which they are connected by a short link and jam-nuts, by which the length of the chain is adjusted. The tallies are of brass, and have one, two, three or four notches, as they mark ten, twenty, thirty or forty links from either end. The fiftieth link is marked by a rounded tally to distinguish it from the others. In place of the four-pole chain just described, many surveyors prefer a chain two rods or thirty-three feet long, having only fifty links, which are counted by tallies from one end in a single direction. Our surveyors' chains are made of Nos. 8 and 10 refined iron wire, and of Nos. 8, 10, 12 and 15 best steel wire. Iron And Steel Steel chains are often preferred on WIRE account of their greater strength, although they are more costly than those of iron. Engineers' chains differ from surveyors' chains, in that Engineers' a unk including a ring at each end is one foot Chains long, and the wire is of steel and therefore much stronger. They are either fifty or one hundred feet long, and are furnished with swivel handles and tallies like those just described. The wire used for these chains is of steel of the first quality, Nos. 8, 10 and 12. A very light and strong chain is made of No. 12 steel Brazed Steel wire, the links and rings of which are Chains securely brazed. The wire is of a low spring-temper, and the chain, though light, is almost incapable of being broken or stretched in careful use. Our brazed steel chains have been found exceedingly desirable for all kinds of measurement, and for the use of engineers upon railroads and canals they have very generally...
