    In the use of this formula, proper attention should be paid to the signs of sin (Q+y) and sin y; for the first term will be positive only when (Q+y) is less than 180 (the reverse with sin ?/); D being the distance of the right-hand object, the graduation of the instrument running from left to right.

    T being relatively small, the lengths of D and G are approximately computed with the angle Q.

    The following quantities must be known in addition to the measured angles in order to find the correction for reducing to center:

    1. The angle measured at the instrument, P, between the center of the signal or station, C, and the first-observed station to the right of it, A.

    2. The distance from the center of the instrument to the center of the station = r.-

    * 3. The approximate distances, D, G, etc., from the station occupied to the stations observed. The latter may be computed from the uncorrected angles.

    GRAPHIC REDUCTION TO CENTER,

    Approximate closure errors of triangles may be tested in the field before distances have been computed by scaling from the plot the distances between stations in miles and the perpendicular distance in feet from signal to line joining instrument and distant station.

    Then, since 1 foot at a distance of 40 miles subtends an angle of 1" (nearly),

    length of perpendicular in feet X 40 .. . , - i r- z - = correction in seconds, number of miles

    Example: Station P. Correction for swing on line B P, 30 miles in length from instrument to signal

    and correction to angle B P A = Q to reduce from instrument to sig- nal = 5.1" + 4.2" = 9.3", agreeing closely with the exact compu- tation.

    APPROXIMATE SPHERICAL EXCESS IN SECONDS.

    This may be obtained -by dividing the area of the triangle in square miles by 75.5.

    THREE-POINT PROBLEM.

    If three points, forming a triangle of which the sides and angles are known or can be computed, be visible from a fourth point, P, it is required to determine the position of P.

    Set up the theodolite at P and measure the two angles subtended by any two of the given sides.

    This problem is of use in cases where, the regular triangulation hav- ing been completed, additional points are required for the topographic survey, or are needed for special service. The angles should be care- fully measured, and in the computations the logarithms should be car- ried to seven places1 of decimals.

    Three cases of its application are given, as in others, such as when P falls upon one or another of the sides of the known triangle, or on the prolongation of either, the case resolves itself into the solution of a simpk triangle with one side and the angles given; or the problem is indeterminate, as when P is situated on the circumference of the circle passing through the three known points a contingency which rarely occurs.

    In making the computations, first prepare a plat of the various lines on such a scale that the shortest line will be about 2 inches in length, letter the plat the same as above, write by each line (a, &, c) the log of its length, and place in the proper positions the values for the angles A, P', P".

    GRAPHIC SOLUTION OF THE THREE-POINT PROBLEM.

    1. When new point is within the triangle formed by the three points, point sought is within the triangle of error.

    2. When new point is on or near the circle passing through the other points, the location is uncertain.

    3. When new point is within either of the three shaded segments of the circle (see diagram below), orient on middle point; then the line from middle point lies between true point and point of intersection of lines from other two points.

  • 12 GEOGRAPHIC TABLES AND FORMULAS.

    4. When new point is without the circle, orient on most distant point; then the point sought is always on the same side of the line from most distant point as the point of intersection of the other two lines.

    NOTE. Since a location can be made from any three points, whether correctly plotted or not, therefore always check such locations by means of a fourth point if possible.

    For computing distances use this formula:

    When the base is not at right angles to the line of sight as at &, or at the same elevation as the point of observation, the factors sin a and cos V must be introduced, a, being the angle between the base and line of sight and V the vertical angle at A.

    The full formula for' distances then becomes

    (4) H =&C sin a cos V

    R

    The plotted position of the base & should be prolonged on the field sheet in order to permit the measurement of the angle a with a large paper or other protractor, with greater accuracy.

    METHOD OF FIXING A MERIDIAN AT ANY TIME BY HOURANGLE.

    [Extracted from United States Land Survey Manual.]

    The annexed diagram (fig. 6) will show in their proper relation the various aspects of Polaris in its daily apparent motion around the. north-polar point.

    This must be carefully studied, as the illustration of Table 1, for finding at any hour the hour angle and azimuth of Polaris, and the resulting meridian, at times when more direct methods are not available.

    Hour angle of Polaris. In fig. 6 the full vertical line represents a portion of the meridian passing through the zenith Z (the point directly overhead), and intersecting the northern horizon at the north point N, from which, for surveying purposes, the azimuths of Polaris

    W.elong.5

    FIG. 6. Aspects of Polaris.

    are reckoned east or west. The meridian is pointed out by the plumb line when it is in the same plane with the eye of the observer and Polaris on the meridian, and a visual representation is also seen in the vertical wire of the transit, when it covers the star on the meridian.

    When Polaris crosses the meridian it is said to culminate; above the

  • GBOGEAPHIO TABLES A"ND FOEMULAS. 15

    pole (at.S), the passage is called the upper culmination, in contradis- tinction to the lower culmination (at S').

    In the diagram which the surveyor may better understand by hold- ing it up perpendicular to the line of sight when he looks toward the pole Polaris is supposed to be on the meridian, where it Avill be about noon on April 14 of each year. The star appears to revolve around the pole, in the direction of the arrows, once in every 23h 56m.l of mean solar time; it consequently comes to and crosses the meridian, or culminates, nearly four minutes earlier each successive day. The apparent motion of the star being uniform, one quarter of the circle will (omitting fractions) be described in 5h 59m , one half in llh 58m , and three quarters in 17h 5Ym . For the positions S15 S2 , S3 , etc., the angles SPsn SPs2 , SPs3 , etc., are called hour angles of Polaris, for the instant the star is at S1? s2 , or s3", etc., and they are measured by the arcs Ssn Ss2 , Ss3 , etc., expressed (in these instructions) in mean solar (common clock) time, and are alwaj7 s counted from the upper meridian (at S), to the west, around the circle from Oh Om to 23h 56m.l, and may'have any value between the limits named. The hour angles, measured by the arcs Ss15 Ssa , Ss3 , Ss4 , Ss6 , and Ss6 , are approximately lh 8mv 5U 55m , 9h 4m , 14:h 52^, 18h Olm, and 22h 48m , respectively; their extent is also indicated graphically by broken fractional circles about the pole.

    Suppose the star observed at the point S3 ; the time it was at S (the time of upper culmination), taken from the time of observation, will leave the arc Ss3 , or the hour angle at the instant of observation; similar relations will obtain when the star is observed in any other position; therefore, in general:

    Subtract the time of upper culmination from the correct local mean time of observation; the remainder will be the hour angle of Polaris expressed in time.

    The observation may be made at any instant when Polaris is visible, the exact time being carefully noted.

    The General Land Office publishes annually the Ephemeris of the Sun and Polaris and Tables of Azimuths of Polaris.

    The azimuth of Polaris at any hour angle on any day in the year may be obtained from this table by a very simple computation. This publication replaces tables formerly printed on pages 16 to 25 of Geographic Tables and Formulas.

    The above table was computed with the mean declination of Polaris for each year. A more accurate result will be had by applying to the tabular values the following correction, which depend on the difference of the mean and the apparent place of the star. The deduced azimuth will, in general, be correct within 0'.3.

    TABLE 2. AZIMUTH AND APPARENT ALTITUDE OF POLAHIS AT DIFFERENT HOUR ANGLES.

    [From U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Report for 1895.]

    The accompanying tables are intended for field use, to facilitate placing an instrument in the meridian. They are also suitable for determining the approximate latitude or meridian. They contain the azimuth of Polaris at intervals of fifteen minutes in hour angle for each degree of north latitude from 30 to 60, and the apparent alti- tude at the same intervals and for each fifth degree of latitude. 68 The tables are computed for the declination of Polaris 88 46', but the rate of change in both azimuth and altitude is given with the argument V increase in declination. 6 The tables are intended to be used in con- nection with the American Ephemeris, where are given the apparent right ascension and declination of Polaris for each day in the year.The approximate local time will in general be known with sufficientaccuracy from standard time and the approximate longitude of the place. The following example explains the use of the tables and the deriyation of the hour angle of Polaris:

    It is to be remembered that Polaris is east of the meridian for twelve hours before upper culmination, and west of the meridian for twelve hours after. By setting the instrument at the apparent altitude and sweeping near the meridian Polaris can ordinarily be found and the instrument placed in the meridian some time before dark. With transit instruments not provided with horizontal arc, the value of the azimuth adjusting screw may be readily determined and used.

    Without the American Ephemeris these tables may be conveniently used for obtaining the approximate meridian or latitude, in connection with Bulletin 14, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, where are given the approximate mean times of culminations of Polaris, and the mean declinations for various epochs.

    COMPUTATION OF OFFSETS FROM SECANTS TO PARALLELS.

    The formulas for computing geodetic coordinates and azimuths may be used to compute the offsets or azimuths for a secant line as follows: The distance, s (for metric measures), in the formula will be the distance lc or cd, figure 7, to the intersection of the parallel and secant from the central meridian. The azimuth of the secant at the central meridian c will be 90 or 270. - The latitude to be used in finding the constants A, B, C, etc., may (without appreciable error) be taken as that of the parrallel. As the cosine of 90 is 0 the first term of the latitude computation will be 0, and us the sine of 90

  • GEOGRAPHIC TABLES AND FORMULAS. 33

    equals 1, the second term will reduce to $2C. The third and fourth terms will in all cases be negligible. Therefore, the seconds of lati- tude found from the second term when reduced to feet or other unit will be the offset eg. The azimuth of the secant where it intersects the parallel will be 90 plus or minus s (reduced to seconds of longi- tude) multiplied by the sine of the latitude, or

    log s (in seconds) + log sine

    FIG. 8. Construction of polyconic projection. 15'of latitude and longitude; scale 1:48000. Construc- tion lines (to be drawn in pencil) dotted; final projection lines full.

    EXAMPLE OF USE OP PROJECTION TABLES.

    Let it be required to construct a projection for the area between parallels of 40 0(K arid 40 15' and meridians 90 00/ and 90 15' on a scale of 1:48000 (4,000 feet=l inch). For this scale it is customary to show meridians or parallels at intervals of 5 minutes, though any other desired interval may be adopted.

    Through the center of the paper (see diagram, fig. 8) draw two fine pencil lines a-b and c-d exactly perpendicular to each other. The vertical line will be the meri- dian of 90 07' 30" and the intersection of the horizontal line with the vertical line will be a point on the parallel of 40 07' 30". From the column headed '' Meridional distance," Table 10, page 81, opposite 40 in column "Latitude of parallel," take

  • GEOGRAPHIC TABLES AND FORMULAS. 35

    the value of a latitude interval of 5', which is 7.588 inches; lay off half of this interval or 3.794 inches, on the central meridian above and below the horizontal line; these distances will give points e and/, on the parallels of 40 10' and 40 05/ , respectively. The distance, 7.588 inches, laid off above and below the latter points will give points g and h for latitudes 40 15' and 40 00'. Through each of these points draw a line parallel to the horizontal line and perpendicular to the vertical line first drawn.

    In a similar manner lay off points on the horizontal lines through e, f, g, h, by meas- uring from the central meridian east and west distances obtained from columns headed "Abscissas of developed parallel" in Table 10, page 81, for the appropriate latitudes and for the longitude intervals of 2y and 7$'. Thus, for 40?, the tabular value for 2$' is 2.919 inches, for 5' it is 5.837 inches, and for 7J' it is 8.755 inches, which fix the points i, j, k, and 1. In order to find corner points of the 5-minute area take from the columns headed "Ordinatesof developed parallel" in Table 10, on .the same page, opposite the latitude, the distances for the "Longitude intervals" 2$' and 7$' (the value of 2y for the 1:48000 scale is inappreciable, being less than 0.001 inch); lay these distances off perpendicularly northward from the horizontal lines, giving points x, y, z, etc., the required corners, and through these points draw curves of the parallel concave toward the north and meridional lines joining corresponding points as x, y, zon each parallel. After testing the accuracy of the plotting by comparing the length of the diagonals/ i=f l, h m=h n, etc., the projection may be inked in.

    In a similar manner projections may be constructed for other scales or areas. Table 8, for the scale of 1:63360 (1 mile to 1 inch), may be used for any even fraction or multiple of a mile. The distance between parallels being found from column "Meridional distance"; distances not given may be found by simple proportion except for "Ordi- nates of developed parallel," which increase as the square of the distance from the central meridian, or actually as the vers sin of angle of convergence. For scales of any number of thousands of feet to 1 inch use suitable fractions of the distance given for scale 1:12000 (1,000 feet to 1 inch) in Table 12.

    For maps of large areas Table 6 gives the actual or full scale distances in meters. These may be divided by the proper scale ratio and the distances so found platted with a metric scale or reduced to feet by the table on page 291. The first part of this table gives the actual lengths of arcs of 1 along the meridian for each degree of lati- tude as its middle point (see p. 36), the second part gives the lengths of arcs of the parallels for 1 of longitude for each degree of latitude (see p. 37), and the third part gives lengths of the arcs of the parallel for V of longitude. The remainder of Table 6 entitled " Coordinates of curvature " (see pp. 39-47) is for use in making poly- conic projections; these are rectangular coordinates of the curves of parallels. The X values are the distances measured east and west from the central meridian, each to be taken for the proper latitude, and the corresponding Y values give the offsets at right angles to the horizontal lines to fix intersection points of the curved parallels with the other meridians. For projections of large extent the meridians differ sen- sibly from straight lines and they as well as the parallels must be drawn as curves.

    The feet for each whole number of chains up to 99 are given; and as links are hundredths they can also be read off (by pointing off two places) and added to the chains. Example: Convert 16 chains 27 links to feet. From the table 16 chains is read as 1,056 feet, and 27 links (read 27 chains and point off two places) as 17.82 feet. The sum, 1,073.83 feet, is obtained by mental addition.
