Field Procedure of Adjusting the Great Circle Line to the Rhumb Line
Technical literature on the various branches of surveying is rich on the subject of the geodetic problems of establishing various lines on the earth's surface, comprising boundaries, to connect points of known latitude and longitude. The methods of procedure for the actual field operations, however, are not summarized and for the field engineer to compile these results for actual field use covering all phases of this question is a complicated process. To summarize selectively for the needs of the field engineer, to supply shorter and simpler formulas giving results well within the limits of admissible error, and to supply data for field use, is the object of this paper.
