[2 P.M. TO 5 P.M.] SURVEYING. 1. Name the three permanent adjustments of the five-inch transit 12 theodolite, in their order; and state how you would make the first of these three adjustments. Show the advantages of the theodolite over the prismatic compass for surveying purposes. 2. Describe the method of plotting a survey with the circular card 10 protractor; and show the advantage of this method over the method sometimes employed in plotting a compass survey. On what does the accuracy of plotting with a circular card protractor much depend? 3. Define and illustrate Gale's Traverse system; and state for what 12 modes of surveys it is applicable. 4. When a traverse makes a complete circuit, name the three conditions which it ought to fulfil. 8 What is the amount of error allowed on the Revenue Survey in latitudes and departures ? 5. Name the points to be considered in selecting the site for a base line for a Trigonometrical survey of a few square miles with a five-inch theodolite. What should be the length of such a base line? 6 6. Describe in detail the method adopted in measuring the base line on the ground and showing it on plan. 10 7. State how the "station Dot," or point vertically under the signal, for a trigonometrical station is found. 7 What is a Satellite station? 8. Mention the names of four methods by which railway circular curves 8 may be set out. What do you understand by the term "2° curve"? 9. Show by a diagram and describe the method of marking out a curve 12 with one theodolite, by angles at the circumference. B 1964-32 ex 10. The summits of two hills, which are to be connected by a third class 15 hill road 20' wide, are 5,000 feet above mean sea-level. The ravine between these hills, which is to be crossed on a level by the road, is fordable at only one point, which is 1,200 feet above mean sea-level; the hills have gentle slopes; the nature of ground is muram generally and rock in places. Write out instructions for surveying and tracing out this road with the theodolite, noticing particularly the following points : (a) The point from which the survey should be commenced. (6) What special provision in tracing and levelling the line on the ground should be made for crossing small streams, (1) on a level with dips, (2) with road dams, (3) with small masonry drains? (c) What should be the ruling gradient and how should the theodolite be inclined for the gradient? (d) What steps should be taken in ranging to avoid rocks? (e) At what points should the line be ranged on a level? (f) State roughly the shortest length of such a line, if there are no streams, &c., to cross, and the ravine is crossed on a level by a road dam. WEDNESDAY, 20TH NOVEMBER, [10 A.M. TO 1 P.M.] BRIDGES. 1. Describe and illustrate the working of a flying bridge. What precautions should be taken if a long service cable is used? 2.
