Period
THIS INSTRUMENT USED C. 1913- 1931, AND POSSIBLY LATER.
Canada
MAGNETIC SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED BY MEMBERS OF THE TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF CANADA AS EARLY AS 1880. EQUIPPED WITH MAGNETIC INSTRUMENTS THE TS SURVEYORS WERE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE BEARINGS OF LINES ALREADY DETERMINED FOR LAND SURVEYS, WITHOUT INCURRING THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE OR DUPLICATION OF EFFORT REQUIRED TO MOUNT A SEPARATE MAGNETIC SURVEY. THIS TRANSIT IS KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN USED IN SUCH SURVEYS. (SEE TECHNICAL REPORT PREPARED BY H. BAJDIK, IN SUPP. INFO.)
Function
