A Practical Treatise on Mine Surveying (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Mine Surveying
This book has been prepared with the intention of assisting students in learning the art of Surveying. The author, during the twenty-one years of his Professorship in the Mining Depart ment of the Yorkshire College, had to teach a great many students the elements of this art, and for that purpose put together various notes. As a former Examiner in Mine Survey ing to the City and Guilds of London Institute also, the author gained a considerable insight into the needs of students. He has added to his own experience as a practical surveyor by reading a number of books on surveying and papers published in the transactions of various scientific societies both in this and other countries.
Where it has been thought advisable to reproduce extracts or drawings from these, acknowledgment will be found in the text.
Whilst primarily the object the author has had in View has been the preparation of an elementary text-book, he has endeavoured to make the book of value as a reference book to the more advanced parts of the subject, and the chapters dealing with Trigonometrical Plotting, Hypsometry, Method of finding the True North, Metalliferous Mine Surveying, Photographic Surveying, Prospecting with the Magnetic Needle, etc., have been included with this purpose in view.
The reader should endeavour, as far as possible, to get practical experience of the instruments and in the method of using them, and the author would recommend such of his readers as have not done so to view the collection of surveying instruments at the South Kensington Museum, London.
