Unit 1- Surveying
Chaining: Instruments used for chaining
Pegs:
Wooden pegs are used to mark the positions of the stations or terminal points of survey lines. They are made of stout timber. These are available about 2.5 to 3 cm square and 15 cm length. They are driven in the ground with the help of a wooden hammer and kept about 4 cm projection above the ground.
Plumb bob:
While chaining along a sloping ground, a plumb bob is required to transfer the points to the ground. It is used as centering aid in the theodolites, compass, plane table and a variety of other survey instruments.
