encoding utf-8 survey WS #WillieStanton -title "Entrance" # Scan of Willie's notes supplied to me (Ben Cooper) courtesy of Graham Mullan, 2010. # This file developed during lumch times and train rides to London in 2011 # Interpretation of Willie's notes: # Dimensions UDLR: Confirmation from diagram on P80 that first dimension is definitely UP # Do dimensions relate to the From or To station? Hard to tell because of page break, but it appears from diagram on P80 # that station 69 dimensions are provided against leg from station 69 to 70. Hence conclude that dimensions are the From station. # I assume "C, A, F, Tripod" means Compass, Altimeter(? but I assume means clinometer, ie angle off horizontal), Fibron tape # I don't know what a Fibron tape is, but it was spelled out below # NOTE drillmarks made by Willie are ~20mm in diameter and 20mm deep.
