Abstract
THE author states that this little book has been written to provide a text-book for a short course in surveying for students of all branches of engineering and that the material presented differs from that normally found in surveying text-books, in that there has been complete re-arrangement and rejection of some subjects usually covered. The scope is that of the requirement of the engineer for surveying, in connexion particularly with the construction and expansion of works, and of the employment of surveying techniques for setting out in shop-practice—for example, aircraft assembly, or preliminary bridge-assembly.
