Stadia observation yielded the following results: vertical angle, +13°20': top stadia hair reading, 4.500 m, and lower stadia hair readin 3.250 m, respectively. The rod reading was taken at A, which is 3.875 m above the stadia point, and B, which is 1.620 m above the instrument station. The instrument constant is 0.381 m, and the stadia interval factor is 99.5. What will be the horizontal distance between the instrument station and the stadia point?

What is the meaning of Pre-History?
In tacheometry survey, an intercept of 0.755m was recorded on a staff which was believed to vertical, and the vertical angle measured on the theodolite was +15º. Actually, the staff which was 4 metres long was 0.14m out of plumb bob and leaning backwards away from the instrument position. Assuming it was an anallatic instrument with a multiplying constant of 100, what would have been the error in the computed horizontal distance?
