THE GENERAL THEORY OF TAPE SUSPENSION IN BASE MEASUREMENT |
| |
| Abstract: | AbstractThe method of accurate linear measurement by means of suspended Invar steel tapes or wires has, since its introduction by Jäderin about the beginning of this century, entirely replaced the older methods of base measurement by bars or rods. It is not surprising, therefore, that the theoretical basis of the method—including a determination of the form of the curved tape and of its horizontal projection—should have received close attention. The most valuable recent contributions to the subject, since Benoit and Guillaume's classic work La Mesure Rapide des Bases Geodesiques, are by Professor and Major Henrici and by the late Mr A. E. Young. |
