PROCEDURES:

1. Define a point (PI) in the field by staking out a hub.

2. Set up and level the instrument at the designated vertex or point of intersection (PI).
 3. Establish the point of curvature (PC) on the ground by laying out the computed tangent
distance (T) using the steel tape.
4. Set the Vernier to zero and sight the PC. Measure the angle (180 - I) from the back
tangent.
5. Through the line of sight of the instrument, establish the point of tangency (PT) of the
forward tangent by laying out the tangent distance.
6. Transfer the instrument to PC. Set the vernier to zero and sight on PI. Keeping the
horizontal circle clamped, set off the deflection angle of the first station on the vernier.
7. Establish the first station by laying out the first sub-chord distance from the PC. Stake
out the point with a hub.
8. Set the vernier to read the second deflection angle (still with instrument at PC). The
second sub-chord distance is laid off from the first station. The intersection of the line of
sight of the telescope and the end of the tape (sub-chord distance) defines the second
station. Stake out the point.
9. Set the vernier to read the third deflection angle. With the beginning of the tape at the
second station, the tape (whose length is equal to sub-chord distance for one full
station) is swung until the end of the tape intersects with the line of sight of the
telescope. Stake out the intersection to mark the third station.
10. The procedure is repeated up to the last station and the PT.
