Surveying And Surveying Instruments

Surveying And Surveying Instruments

Author: G. A. T. Middleton

Year: 1894

For some time past it has seemed to me that a concise work upon Land Surveying, in which modern instruments and modern methods of working were described, would be welcomed by many. The result has been the preparation of this small volume, which, having already appeared as a series of articles in the Building News, is now put before the public in book form. Its production would have been impossible without the co-operation of the leading instrument makers, to-whom my thanks are heartily tendered, and especially to Messrs. Elliott Bros,, Mr. W. F. Stanley, My, J. H. Steward, and Messrs, Watson and Sons, who have lent me instruments from which to prepare my illustrations; while I must also own my indebtedness for much useful information to a perusal of Usill’s Practical Surveying and Stanley’s Surveying Instruments. Interestingly there is a catalogue of surveying instruments made by W. F. Stanley incorporated into the book which includes a price list.
