摘要:

AbstractDuring the 18th Century the earlier improvements in mathematical education at University level percolated through to the Schools, resulting in a significant improvement in the mathematical knowledge of ordinary surveyors. It led also to a larger number of individuals being qualified to enter their ranks. This coincided with an increased demand for land surveys resulting from changes in the practice of agriculture and the distribution of farmland.

摘要:

AbstractOne hundred years ago, on November 15, 1877, Heinrich Wild, the renowned inventor and creator of the modern optical surveying instrument was born in the Swiss Canton of Glarus. In 1892 he was apprenticed to an engineer engaged in the amelioration of the swampy valley of the River Linth. In 1899 he terminated his formal education in surveying at the Winterthur Technical College and applied for a position with the Federal Topographic Survey in Bern because he felt that he had picked up enough theory. He was hired, a rare exception which the talented young man justified by his outstanding contribution to our profession later on. In 1900 he married Elisabeth Märchy.

摘要:

AbstractThis“International Symnposium on Electro-magnetic Distance Measurement and the influence of Atmospheric Refraction”was held at Wageningen, the Netherlands, from 23 to 27 May 1977. It was sponsored by the I.A.G. (S.S.G. 1.42) and hosted by the Netherlands Geodetic Commission and the Agricultural University of Wageningen whilst actually held on the premises of the International Agricultural Centre (I.A.C.). The convenor, responsible for the programme and for co-ordinating the administrative organisation, was Dr. Peter Richardus of the Department of Surveying and Photogrammetry in the University. The I.A.C. proved a suitable venue with good meeting facilities etc; most, but not all, the delegates were accommodated on the premises and the restaurant facilities were available to all.

摘要:

AbstractThe plane mirror, used in early Geodimeter work, has been replaced as a reflector in EDM by the corner cube. The reasons for this are well known and need no elaboration here. However, if the plane mirror is mounted on the objective of a theodolite telescope normal to the line of sight, a very effective reflection system is obtained which has several advantages over the corner cube, if used directly, or if used in conjunction with the corner cube. In this paper we discuss two applications of the plane mirror mounted on the theodolite.
