Levelling, also known as heighting, is the process of determining relative height differences between points on the Earth's surface. If the height of one point is known relative to a datum, then the heights of other points can be found relative to the same datum. This is done using a leveling instrument, leveling staff, and following standard procedures such as taking backsight and foresight readings. Care must be taken to eliminate errors from things like atmospheric refraction. Results are typically recorded in a level book or form and can be reduced using methods like height of instrument or rise and fall.
1. Levelling is used to determine relative heights and elevations of points and establish points at required elevations. It involves using instruments like levels and staffs.
2. There are different types of levels (dumpy, tilting, wye, automatic) and staffs (self-reading, target). Precise levelling is done to establish permanent benchmarks.
3. Adjustments must be made to level instruments during setup and permanently. Methods like differential, profile and cross levelling are used depending on the task. Reciprocal levelling involves backsight-foresight exchange to check for errors.
This document describes different methods of trigonometric leveling to determine the elevation of points. Trigonometric leveling uses vertical angles measured with a theodolite and distances to calculate elevations. There are methods to determine elevations when the base is accessible and inaccessible, and when instrument stations and objects are in the same or different vertical planes. Calculations use trigonometric functions and relationships between angles and distances in triangles formed by the instrument stations and object.
1) Levelling is the process of determining the relative elevations of points on or near the earth's surface. It is important for engineering projects to determine elevations along alignments.
2) Levelling is used to prepare contour maps, determine altitudes, and create longitudinal and cross sections needed for projects.
3) Key terms include bench mark, datum, reduced level, line of collimation, and height of instrument. Different types of levelling include simple, differential, fly, longitudinal, and cross-sectional levelling.
This document discusses contouring and contour maps. It defines a contour line as a line connecting points of equal elevation. The vertical distance between consecutive contours is called the contour interval, which depends on factors like the nature of the ground and the map scale. Contour maps show the topography of an area and can be used for engineering projects, route selection, and estimating earthworks. Methods of plotting contours include direct methods using levels or hand levels, and indirect methods like gridding, cross-sectioning, and radial lines. Characteristics of contours provide information about the landscape.

Tacheometric surveying uses a tacheometer to determine horizontal and vertical distances through angular measurements. A tacheometer is a theodolite fitted with stadia hairs and an anallatic lens. The tacheometric formula relates the staff intercept, focal length, stadia interval and additive constant to calculate horizontal distances. Methods include stadia, fixed/movable hair, and non-stadia techniques. Determining the tacheometer constant involves measuring distances and staff intervals at stations to solve equations. Errors arise from incorrect stadia intervals or graduations. Tacheometric surveying provides distances in rough terrain but with less precision than other methods.

Surveying is used at various stages of a construction project from conceptual planning to maintenance. It involves measuring positions and elevations to determine spatial relationships and enable engineering design and construction. Common surveying methods include chain, compass, theodolite, plane table, tachometric, aerial photographic, and remote sensing surveys. Levelling specifically refers to determining relative elevations and is important for engineering works like establishing rail and road alignments and profiles. Key levelling instruments are dumpy level, tilting level, automatic level, and digital level.
This document describes three methods for measuring horizontal angles with a theodolite:
1) Ordinary Method: A horizontal angle is measured between points A and B by sighting each point and recording the vernier readings. The process is repeated by changing instrument faces and the average of readings gives the angle.
2) Repetition Method: A more accurate method where the angle is mechanically added several times by repeatedly sighting point A after sighting B.
3) Reiteration Method: Several angles are measured successively at a station, closing the horizon by resighting the initial point. Any error is distributed among the measured angles.
This document discusses the use of a theodolite for surveying. It begins by explaining that a theodolite is needed to precisely measure horizontal and vertical angles, unlike a compass. It then defines theodolite surveying as surveying that measures angles using a theodolite. The document goes on to classify theodolites based on their horizontal axis and method of angle measurement. It describes the basic parts of a transit vernier theodolite and explains terms used in manipulating one. Finally, it discusses methods for measuring horizontal angles, including the general, repetition, and reiteration methods.
This document provides an overview of basic surveying principles and methods:
1) Surveying works from establishing overall control points before measuring details. Control points are established through precise primary networks of triangles or traverses.
2) Secondary control networks further divide the primary network for less precise work. Survey of details then uses the established control points. This minimizes error accumulation.
3) A traverse connects lines whose lengths and directions are measured to establish a framework. Traverses can be open or closed, with closed traverses returning to the starting point.
4) The direction of lines is defined by their bearing from a reference meridian using different systems like true, magnetic, or arbitrary meridians.

form of leveling in which sights are taken as large as possible. in this
method, a line of levels is run to determine approximately reduced

to check the values of the reduced levels of the bench marks already
fixed. In this method only back sight and foresight are taken. There is no need of intermediate sights. However great care has to be taken for selecting the change points (Turning Points) and for taking reading on the change points because the accuracy of leveling depends upon these

Contour lines on a map connect points of equal elevation above sea level. They show the shape and features of the land. There are two main methods for creating contour maps - direct and indirect. The direct method precisely traces contours in the field but is slow. The indirect method takes spot elevations across an area and interpolates the contour lines, making it faster but less precise. Common indirect techniques include surveying on a grid, along cross-sections, or using a tacheometer along radial lines. Contour maps provide topographic information for engineering projects.

A level is an instrument used to determine differences in elevation between points. It consists of a telescope to provide a horizontal line of sight and a level tube to ensure the line of sight remains level. Readings from a staff held at points of known and unknown elevation allow the differences in elevation to be calculated. The level must be calibrated and adjusted to ensure accurate readings. Closing a level loop by returning to the starting point allows the accuracy of readings to be checked.
A level is an instrument used to determine differences in elevation between points. It consists of a telescope to provide a horizontal line of sight and a level tube to ensure the line of sight is level. Readings from a staff held at points allow the elevation of points to be calculated relative to a known benchmark. Leveling loops are closed to check for errors by comparing the sum of backsight and foresight readings to the expected elevation difference between start and end points.
This document describes leveling, which is a surveying method used to determine elevation differences between points. It defines key leveling terms like benchmark, backsight, foresight, and introduces two common leveling booking methods - height of instrument and rise and fall. Height of instrument determines elevations by adding/subtracting staff readings to the known elevation or last benchmark. Rise and fall codes elevations increases as rises and decreases as falls to track changes in elevation from one point to the next. The document provides examples of how to record leveling data and compute elevations using each method.
Leveling is a surveying technique used to determine differences in elevation between points. It involves measuring vertical angles and distances to establish spot elevations across an area. There are two main methods - direct and indirect. Direct contouring involves marking points along contour lines in the field, while indirect contouring uses spot elevations from which contours are interpolated on a map. Common techniques include using a level, staff, and plane table or theodolite to obtain elevations and positions of points, which are then contoured. Leveling is important for engineering projects to design facilities and earthworks efficiently based on terrain.

This document defines levelling and its key terms like datum, mean sea level, bench mark, level surface, and level line. It describes levelling instruments like the dumpy level, wye level, and tilting level. It explains self-reading staffs, target staffs, and how to take readings. It discusses errors in levelling, curvature and refraction corrections, and methods for reducing levels including the height of instrument and rise-and-fall methods. Temporary adjustments to levelling instruments are also outlined.
This document defines leveling and describes different leveling methods. It discusses how to use a level instrument, take level readings, and calculate elevation differences and reduced levels. It also explains how to perform differential leveling by booking readings, calculating heights of instrument and reduced levels using rise-fall and height of instrument methods. Finally, it discusses various uses of leveling including longitudinal sections, cross-sections, contouring, and setting out sight rails.
This document provides information on topographic surveying techniques. It discusses altitude representation, benchmarking, direct and indirect leveling methods, and level calibration procedures. Direct leveling, also called geometric leveling, directly determines the elevation difference between two points using a leveling staff to obtain a horizontal plane. Indirect leveling uses trigonometric calculations based on measured vertical angles to indirectly calculate elevation differences.
This document provides information about a field work report submitted by students for a bachelor's degree in quantity surveying. It discusses leveling as a surveying technique to determine relative heights or elevations. The document defines key leveling terms and describes leveling methods, arithmetic checks, and differential leveling. It also outlines the apparatus used, including automatic levels, tripod stands, leveling rods, and their components and functions. The objectives of the field work and leveling techniques are explained.
1. Levelling is used to determine the relative or absolute heights of points and is done by measuring vertical angles with a level.
2. The key principles are establishing elevations of unknown points relative to a known benchmark and determining height differences between points.
3. Levelling has many uses including topographic mapping, engineering design, construction, and drainage analysis. Careful instrument setup and line of sight adjustments are needed to get accurate elevation measurements.
Mass-haul diagrams (MHDs) are used to calculate cut and fill volumes and estimate material hauling needs for construction projects. MHDs graphically display cumulative cut and fill volumes along the project centerline. They are used to determine balancing points where cut and fill volumes offset, how much material needs to be imported or exported, and the most economical hauling methods. An example MHD analysis identifies a project's maximum haul distance and calculates how much borrow material is needed to make up the excess fill volume.
This document discusses hydraulic machines and provides details on hydraulic turbines and pumps. It covers the basic principles and components of common turbine types like Pelton wheels, Francis turbines and Kaplan turbines. It also examines the workings of centrifugal and reciprocating pumps. Specific topics covered include pump classifications, components, operating characteristics, efficiencies, heads and losses. Diagrams of turbine and pump examples are included to illustrate key concepts.
The document discusses different coordinate systems used in land surveying. It describes 2D and 3D coordinate systems including cartesian and polar coordinate systems. The 2D cartesian system uses perpendicular x and y axes to locate points, with the x-axis running north-south and y-axis east-west. The 3D cartesian system extends this to three dimensions using an origin at the Earth's center. The document also covers converting between cartesian and polar coordinates, and fundamental calculations in surveying like join and polar computations.
The document discusses different types of electrical wiring systems used in homes. It describes cleat wiring, which uses PVC-insulated wires held by cleats on walls and ceilings. Cleat wiring is a temporary system not suitable for homes. Conduit wiring routes wires through plastic or metal pipes hidden inside walls. Surface conduit wiring mounts pipes externally while concealed conduit wiring hides pipes internally. Conduit wiring is durable, safe from damage and fire, and suitable for both homes and industry. The document also covers wire specifications and different types of switches used in electrical installations.
This document outlines the objectives and content of a plumbing course. The objectives are to teach students how to cut and fix cold water pipes, install sanitary fittings and drains, and perform basic arc and gas welding and electrical installations. The course will be taught through lectures, tutorials, practical exercises, and assignments. Key topics include plumbing methods and materials, common welding techniques, and basic electrical installation principles. Student performance will be evaluated through tests, assignments, and an end-of-semester exam consisting of questions on plumbing, welding, and electrical installation.
Mechanics deals with the motion and rest of bodies under forces. It has developed from analyzing rigid bodies under gravity to more complex systems like robots, aircraft, and spacecraft experiencing various forces. Mechanics is divided into statics which studies equilibrium, and dynamics which studies motion. Fundamental concepts include length, time, mass, displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum, and force. Forces can be represented graphically and act through a line of action with a magnitude and direction. Newton's laws form the basis of mechanics.
The document discusses the typical elements that make up the cross-section of a road, including the traveled way, roadway, shoulders, median, kerb, drainage channels, and right-of-way. It describes the purposes and design considerations for each element. Key factors in selecting the appropriate cross-section include traffic volume, composition and size of vehicles, presence of other road users, climatic conditions, and surrounding land development. The cross-section must provide adequate drainage while balancing mobility needs with physical constraints.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days
1. Levelling (Heighting)
Levelling is the process of determining the
relative differences in heights between two
or more points on the Earth surface.
If the height of one point above a certain
reference datum is known, then the height
of other points above the same datum can
be determined
3. Determination of height differences

4. Used terms
Mean Sea Level (MSL)/Datum
arbitrary surface to which the observed
height of points may be referred.
Bench Mark (B.M)
A point of known Reduced Level (R.L.).
Usually a permanent stable reference
point.
5. used terms
Vertical line
Direction defined by a plumb line under a pull of gravity OR
The direction followed by a freely falling object
A level surface (line)
This is a surface such that the direction of gravity is
perpendicular to it at all points. Hence it follows the earth
surface curvature
A horizontal surface (line)
This will form a tangent to the level surface and
perpendicular to a vertical line at one point.
Line of Collimation
This is the line of sight defined by the optical centre of the
objective lens and the centre of the cross-hair
6.
7. Definitions
Back sight (BS)
The first reading taken by an observer
at every instrument station.
Foresight (FS)
The last reading taken at an instrument
station
9. TYPE OF LEVELLING
Trigonometric levelling
Barometric levelling
Hydrostatic levelling
Spirit levelling
10. Equipments used in Levelling
A LEVEL: A device that can give us a
truly horizontal line
11. Equipments used in Levelling
A LEVELLING STAFF: A suitable
graduated staff for taking vertical
reading:
12. Level
There are three types of levels:
dumpy levels
tilting levels
automatic levels
‘The differences between the three types being in the
way in which the instruments are designed to be
adjusted to give a horizontal line’
13. Classes of Level
Levels normally fall into one of three classes.
Precise
Very accurate instruments for geodetic or any other very precise levelling.
It should be possible to level such an instrument to within +0.1mm.
Medium Accuracy
These are used for engineering surveys. They may be tilting or
automatic instruments capable of being levelled within the range
of 1 – 5mm.
Builders
Low accuracy, short range levelling such as setting out on building sites.
The results obtained with this class of instruments will be well within the
tolerances required on the majority of construction sites. (10mm)
14. Features of conventional level
consists of the followings;
1) Surveying telescope
2) Bubble tube
3) A body to hold the two together plus other
attachment. E.g. tribrach
16. A surveying optical telescope

Focusing
1. Rotate eyepiece to give a sharp,
clear image of the cross hairs
2. Rotate focusing screw to give a
sharp, clear image of the object
being observed.
The aim of focusing is to remove (eliminate) PARALLAX
line of
collimation
19. Surveying telescope
Eyepiece lens:
The magnifying eyepiece facilitates the
viewing of the diaphragm and the image
produced by the objective lens
20. Surveying telescope
Focusing lens:
A concave lens which can be moved inside the
telescope by turning the focusing screws
It alters the focal length of the objective lens
and therefore the position of the image
21. Parallax
When focussing any optical instrument it is vitally important
that we eliminate Parallax.
Move the eye up and down (or from left to right) over the
eyepiece of the telescope.
If the cross hairs move relative to the object being observed
then Parallax exists and the focussing is not satisfactory.
Parallax. Is the relative motion between cross-hairs and the
image
22. Bubble tube
Used for levelling the telescope i.e. making the line of
collimation to be horizontal
Two types of bubble exists;
Tubular bubble
Circular bubble
23. Bubble tube
Tubular bubble
The most accurate one and is formed by
taking an arc of circular tube and filling it
with a fluid. E.g. methyl alcohol
Circular bubble
Is less accurate than tubular bubble
Used for rough levelling up of instrument
and also ensuring the verticality of levelling
staff
24. The levelling Staff
Nothing than a big ruler
Used to measure vertical distance
Staff should be truly vertical
Graduated such that is possible to read them from over a
long distance.
The smallest distance graduated on staves is a cm and the
mm are estimated

33. General procedures in levelling
Horizontal line generated is more commonly
restricted in slope sites
We can only measure two points that are below
the line of sight
To measure height of point above the line of

another point or station
34. General procedures in levelling

35. General procedures in levelling
Movement of the instrument have to be recorded
properly so that when the reduced level (RL) are
calculated they all refer to the same datum.
This method of levelling is called series levelling.
The intermediate staff points are called change point
The intermediate instrument station are called
instrument points
36. Summary of Levelling Procedure
When the level has been set up we always start with a BS to
a point whose RL is known
- such as an BM
The last reading at any instrument position is always a FS
Either the instrument moves or the staff moves -
never move both
We must always finish levelling at a point of known RL value
- such as an BM
always close your levelling
37. Procedural Rules
Always commence and finish a level run on
a Benchmark (B.M. or T.B.M.). The
Benchmark at the start may be different
than that at the finish.
The length of foresight and backsight
should be as equal as is practical.
The length of the lines of sight should be
kept less than 50m and more
conventionally 25m.
38. Procedural Rules
Staff readings of less than 0.5m should be
avoided to prevent errors due to
atmospheric refraction.
Change points should be located on suitable
ground, for example the top of a pointed
rock, or a nail placed in a footpath or road.
39. Booking of Levelling Observation
Readings observed are booked in a level
book/form
Reduction of these readings is carried
out in the same book/form
The two methods are:
Rise and Fall
Height of Instrument
40. The Height of Instrument Method

The procedure is as follows;

41. Note
The First entry is the RL of the BM which is
60.50m
The 2nd entry is the reading of the staff placed
on BM, booked under column of BS.
To get the HI, we add the RL of the BM to the
observed BS.
The staff is moved to A, which is an IS, and
read as 2.05
42. Note
To get the RL of A, we deduce 2.05 from
the HI.
The staff is moved to B, the last
observing station from instrument point
x, i.e. station B. The reading is called
the FS and booked in the same line as
B.
43. Note
We can now calculate the RL of
station B as HI – FS = RLB
The instrument is moved to Y, but the
staff remain on B. the first reading
taken is the BS to B, entered in the
same line to B.
44. Note
A new HI is computed as RLB + BSB
= HIY and this is entered on the line
B. this HI is used to calculate the RL
of the IS points and for the change
point D through the FS. The process
is continued until the RL of the last
point is computed
45. Note
Finally, the calculation are checked by
adding all the entries in the BS and FS
column and compare the differences
between them with the differences
between the first RL and the Last RL
46. Carry out Calculation Checks
BS - FS = Last RL - First RL

Now we can look at the magnitude of the misclosure
We have already seen that the
Actual misclosure = 9.083 - 9.09 = -0.007m Is this acceptable ?
Rule of Thumb:
Allowable misclosure = ± 5 N mm Where N is the Number of Instrument Positions
which is the same as Number of BS readings
Therefore our Allowable misclosure = ± 5 3 mm = ± 8.66 say ± 9mm
Therefore Actual < Allowable Therefore our Fieldwork is OK

50. Rise and Fall method
First entry is the RL of BM
Second entry is the BS taken on B.M, third
entry is the IS at A
To get the rise of fall between BM and A,
we subtract the reading at A from that of
B.M. since it is positive, means a rise, and
so is booked under column of rise.
51. Rise and Fall method
5th entry is the FS at B, to get the slope
between A and B, we subtract IS – FS, it
is positive means a rise
B is a change point, the BS is taken to B
from instrument station Y. this is booked
under BS column
52. Rise and Fall method
From the same instrument station, a FS
to C is taken, the slope is obtained as
BS – FS. It is negative, means a fall,
and is booked under Fall column
The process is continued to all other
staff positions. When all the Rise and
Falls have been calculated, then we
check by; BS - FS = RISE - FALL
53. Rise and Fall method
To get RL of the station, we start with the RL of
the B.M and add the Rise or subtract the Fall of
station below to get the RL of that station.
A final check is applied by finding the
difference between the RL of last station with
the RL of the first station. This should check
with the value obtained above by
BS - FS = RISE - FALL = Last RL - First RL
54. Comparison of the methods
Rise and Fall method
Has more arithmetic checks
Intermediate sight are checked also
The rise and fall column gives an
impression of the topography along the
line of levels
55. Comparison of the methods
Rise and Fall method
The method is slow, involves a lot of calculations
and is not suitable for job involving intermediate
sights os setting out
The method is preferred in precise levelling of
establishing the benchmarks because of
complete arithmetic checks it have
56. Comparison of the methods
The Height of Instrument Method
Has less arithmetic check
Intermediate sights are not checked
Method is faster, involve less calculations and is
suitable for jobs involving setting out
Is not preferred in precise levelling for
establishing other benchmarks because of lack
of the complete arithmetic checks
57. Source of Errors in Levelling
Can be grouped in three category
1) Instrument Errors
2) Error in handling the instrument
3) Error from natural sources
58. Instrument Error
a) Collimation error
Line of sight not horizontal
The error can either be negative or
positive
The magnitude depends upon the
distance between the instrument and
the staff
60. Instrument Error
Elimination of Collimation error
Making the BS and FS distance equal
Results in error of equal magnitude in both
the BS and FS reading.
The difference between them to get H
will result in error canceling out
62. Error in handling the Instrument
a) parallax
Eliminated by perfect focusing of the telescope
Focus of Cross Hairs to a sharp setting
:Note: every users parallax focus is different.
Refocus on Target and check for parallax
63. Error in handling the Instrument
Bubble not exactly centred
Eliminated by ensuring the bubble is centred
before and after taking the reading
b) Non – verticality of staff
Eliminated by using a staff fitted with a circular
bubble

will be reading recorded
Step 3 Staff Slowly Tilted
away from instrument. Once
past vertical readings will
increase
Removing Staff Reading Errors
65. Error in handling the Instrument
c) Error due to displacement of the
instrument
When tripod is set up on soft ground it may
settle during observations and alter the HI
Watch out for soft ground under tripod or staff
Don’t touch (or kick!) tripod
66. Error in handling the Instrument
d) Error due to staff movement during the
change of instrument station
Eliminated by using a foot plate
e) Error in reading the staff and booking the
readings
Reading the staff against a stadia line
Omitting a zero, e.g. reading 3.09 instead of
3.009
67. Error in handling the Instrument
Booking reading with number interchanged, e.g. 1.145
instead of 1.415
Entering reading in a wrong column
Forgetting to book a reading
All are eliminated by careful reading on the staff and
booking
Also help if a booker repeats the readings to the
observer after booking
68. Natural Causes of Errors
a) Wind
Cause swinging of the staff
Vibration of the instrument
Cause vibration of tripod
Precautions
Shorten the length of sight
Stop observation all together
69. Natural Causes of Errors
b) Sun
Cause differential expansion of the Instrument
due to heating up
Affecting the bubble making it go off centre
Sighting is impossible when sun shines into the
objective lens
Cause shimmering of the image due to
overheated ground causing different air masses
convection.
70. Natural Causes of Errors
b) Sun
Precautions:
Shading of the instrument using Umbrella
Reduce a length of sight
Avoid sighting to close to the ground, less than
30cm
Avoid observing when the sun is too hot especially
mid day
71. Natural Causes of Errors
c) Curvature of the Earth and Refraction
Curvature of the Earth”
Line of sight is not a level line but a horizontal
line tangential to a level line
When sights are long, the deviation of tangent
from a circle becomes appreciable
Hence, correction must be applied when sights
are long
72. Curvature of the Earth
Due to the curvature of the Earth, the line of
sight at the instrument will deviate from a
horizontal line as one moves away from the
level
73. Correction of Curvature Error
For a sight length of 100m the effect is
only 1mm.
Keep Sight lengths under 50m
the effect is eliminated by using equal
sight lengths for fore- and back sights.
74. Refraction
The variable density of the Earth's
atmosphere causes a bending of the ray
from the staff to the level.
May also be caused by heat emitted by
plant
The effect of refraction is 1/7 that of
curvature of the earth and acting in
opposite direction.
