Some of the diagrams on this page did not scan in well. An explanation of them can be found at the bottom of the page. Sorry about some of the sketches here. they didn't scan in well. The first diagram is showing 3 poles in a line. One person looks down the line of the 3 poles and instructs a person at the furthest pole to move left or right until all three poles line up. The second diagram shows a straight line layed out by the poles and offsets from this line (perpendicular lines that are measured accurately to give the boundaries of the field from the triangulation line). The third diagram simply shows the method for constructing a triangle with compass and ruler when the length of the three sides is known. |
