A drain is to be set out using an engineer’s tilting level from the following information: Length of drain AB = 150 m Gradient AB, falling from A to B = 1 in 100 Invert level at A = 64,350 m Length of the traveller = 2,000 m A backsight of 1,200 m has been taken to a nearby benchmark, the reduced level of which is 67,650 m. Calculate the staff readings necessary to locate sight rails over A and B.

A drain is to be set out using an engineer’s tilting level from the following information:
Length of drain AB = 150 m
Gradient AB, falling from A to B = 1 in 100
Invert level at A = 64,350 m
Length of the traveller = 2,000 m
A backsight of 1,200 m has been taken to a nearby benchmark, the reduced level
of which is 67,650 m.
Calculate the staff readings necessary to locate sight rails over A and B.
