1908 plane surveying geodetic land field survey work hc
This huge leatherbound hardback text (and the others from this same series... also currently running) contain some of the most awesome civil engineering illustrations ever to cross my path! ~~~~//~~~~ Titled; "PLANE SURVEYING ~ MECHANICAL DRAWING" ~~~~~~ / AMERICAN TECHNICAL SOCIETY Copyright 19O8. / VOL I / Civil Engineering - ~~//~~ This clearly written and profusely illustrated book is in hard-to-classify condition. The pages are near mint, while the outer has some problems. Bound inside of gold embossed scarlet leather on deep red colored buckram over heavy boards. 240+ Awesome etching prints, photo plates, line cuts and figure illustrations that fill this one absolutely must be seen! Depicting all sorts of survey instruments, methods + drafting work including; U.S. Army engineering corps at work in the field, chain use, vernier reading, level mounting, bridge building, Wye level types, telescope adjustment, compass construction, instrument connections to tri-pod bases, solar transit attachments, topography examples, base apparatus, alidade setting, plumbing a temporary signal, drafting tools, lettering styles, road building in Puerto Rico, laying track for a new street car line in St. Petersburg +++. Significant cover dirt/wear chipping to the spine edges/corner tips (causing the front board to wobble) is the only flaw to the outside of this 102-year-old original. Mild page yellowing is the only thing keeping the interior of this 7" by 9 1/2" 2 thick beauty from being mint. That s it! These 387 red-lemon-sage marbled edge heavy rag leaves have no brittleness wrinkles waving dogears rips tears underlines marks of anykind or even a fingersmudge.
