      thanks looks interesting, but we teach lower levels and basics will be able to use it for my research though Ā 

    • HI Rolita ,again. Just thought it might help. I have runĀ  first order levels for the corps of Eng. on the MississippiĀ  RiverĀ  The Instrument had a micrometer attached to it and the rods have three facesĀ  you read to the nearest .001 on two sides then the third the same ,then take the micrometer and move the center hair to the nearest .005 between the hundred marks. You may have to move it up or down then read the rod and then read the micrometer. All the shot had to be at the same dist. bs and fs had to match.Ā  I think now they use the metric system because I did a survey on a navy, army base and they told to use metric system to lay out the buildings . I have spent my share of time on the water on rivers and lakes to. Be sure to go toĀ  M N dot site above you there is a lot ofĀ  good stuff there aĀ  Level program adjustment.Ā  talk to you later.

  • HI everyone , You can also get a very good computer program at MN dot, call MN level. this program reads, and adjust a comma-delimited file that contains field data for a level run,as outputĀ  by Trimble Geomatic's Office .A very good program.
