Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a comprehensive exploration of the transcontinental triangulation across the United States, is a testament to the author's dedication to presenting the history, data, and methods with the utmost accuracy over many years of his career. The text begins with the inception of the project, carefully laying out the objectives and scope of the triangulation. It demonstrates how this triangulation would help to unite the triangulation work being done on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. This was considered of utmost importance to both the present and future survey work needed at the time. The author also details the methods of observation and measurement, showcasing the improvements in accuracy and efficiency brought about as the project progressed. The triangulation provided the foundation for an accurate determination of the earth's size and shape. It not only gave fundamental and permanent points on which all subsequent surveys were based, but it also contributed valuable material for the more exact determination of the earth's size and shape and helped improve the precision of scientific work. The author's inclusion of both successful and unsuccessful observations gives the reader a unique perspective on the difficulties and triumphs of the project. Overall, this book is a valuable contribution to the field of geodesy and a testament to the author's dedication to precision and accuracy.
