11.6. TRAVERSING . . - Plane table traverse involves the same principles as a transit traverse. At each successive station the table is set, a foresight is taken to the followi tation and its location is plotted by measi the distance. D two_stations-as-in the radiation method! earlier. Hence, traversing is fot much different from Tadiation as far as working ‘principles are concerned —the only difference is that in the case_of radiation the observations are taken to those points which are to be detailed ‘or mapped while in the case of _traversing ie, oberon ema 0 (hoxton wile be used aS instrument stations, The is Widely used to lay down survey lines between the instrument Stations of a closed or unclosed. traverse. 11.7, RESECTION , Resection is the process’ of determining the plotted position of the_station occupied by the plane table, by means ‘Of Sighis taken towards Known points, locations of which have ‘been plotted. r The method consists in drawing two rays to the two points of known location on the plan after the table has been oriented. The rays drawn from the unplotted focation -of the station to the points of known location are called resectors, the intersection of which gives the required location of the instrument station, If the.Gble is not correctly oriented at the station io be located on the map, the intersection of the two resectors will- not give ‘correct location of the station. The problem, therefore, lies in orienting table’ at the statibns and can be solved by the following four methods of orientation. (@ — Resection after orientation by compass. (i) Resection after orientation by backsighting. (iii) Resection after orientation by three-point problem. (iv) Resection after orientation by two-point problem.
