A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Accuracy of 1 in 5000 in tacheometric traversing was confirmed; 100% survey was possible, but not practicable in highly developed and densely populated area; tacheometer performs functions of theodolite, measures both horizontal and vertical angles and is alternative to any form of survey which requires taping or chaining; best use was to provide framework which could be completed by purely graphic methods.
