RULES AND REGULATIONS
FOR THE GUIDANCE OF PERSONS LICENSED AS
GOLD FIELD SURVEYORS WITHIN THE
PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND.
Length of chain to be same as Standard Measure.
- Every Surveyor must see that his chain is corrected, and kept corrected, to the Standard Measure, provided at the office of the Engineer-in-Chief. In case a Surveyor is likely to be engaged on Field Work for some length of time, and is without the facility of frequently testing his chain by the Standard Measure provided, in consequence of the survey being at a considerable distance from the office of the Engineer-in-Chief, the Surveyor must, before commencing the field work of such survey, carefully test his chain by the Standard Measure before described, and before using such chain in the field, he must lay down a Standard Measure for himself, on some part of or adjacent to the land to be surveyed, as may be most convenient for reference; and such Standard Measure shall be of equal length to that laid down at the office of the Engineer-in-Chief. By this Standard the chain shall be kept correct in length during the execution of the survey.
Instruments and variation of Needle.
- Theodolites (or instruments for a like purpose) used on any survey on the Gold Fields, must be tested at least twice a year (and more frequently if necessary) at periods to be appointed by the Engineer-in-Chief, in order to ascertain the variation of the needle from a fixed line, representing the true meridian, which will be laid down by the Engineer-in-Chief.
