Surveying Important Questions

The document covers topics related to surveying and leveling, including calculations for R.L. using the H.I. method, sources of error in chaining, and the differences between plain and geodetic surveying. It also discusses the use of a prismatic compass, the adjustments needed for theodolites, and methods of traversing. Additionally, it includes exercises for computing bearings and lengths in traversing and converting whole circle bearings to reduced bearings.
