""Problems in Surveying, Railroad Surveying, and Geodesy"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by Howard Chapin Ives in 1906. The book is divided into three main sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of surveying. The first section focuses on general surveying problems and techniques, including topics such as measurements, angles, and distances. The second section is dedicated to railroad surveying, covering topics such as curves, grades, and profiles. The third section covers geodesy, which is the study of the shape and size of the Earth, and includes topics such as latitude, longitude, and the determination of the Earth's curvature.In addition to the three main sections, the book also includes an appendix on the adjustments of the engineer's transit and level. This appendix provides detailed instructions on how to properly calibrate and adjust these important surveying instruments.Overall, ""Problems in Surveying, Railroad Surveying, and Geodesy"" is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the field of surveying, including engineers, architects, and land surveyors. The book provides clear and concise explanations of complex surveying concepts, as well as practical advice and guidance on how to use surveying instruments effectively.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
