When adjusting a traverse that starts <strong>and</strong> ends on two different stations, surveyors compute thecoordinates before the error is determined. The correction (per leg) is determined in the same manner,but is applied directly to the coordinates. The correction to be applied after computing the first leg isequal to the correction computed for the first leg. The correction to be applied after computing thesecond leg is equal to the correction computed for the first leg plus the correction computed for thesecond leg. The correction for the third leg equals the correction computed for the first, second, <strong>and</strong>third leg. This method continues throughout the traverse. The final correction must be equal to the totalcorrection required.x. Special Instructions. A good observer consistently secures accurate results, as permitted by thecapabilities of the instrument used. To attain proficiency, the surveyor must study the instrumentcarefully, exercise good judgment, <strong>and</strong> carefully study all factors affecting the accuracy of theodoliteobservations. The different classes of errors should also be taken into consideration. In order to obtainthe best results, observe the following precautions: Adjust <strong>and</strong> level the instrument carefully before proceeding with the measurement. Keep away from the tripod when making a measurement. Turn the plates gently. Hold the plates or limbs, not the telescope. Work steadily <strong>and</strong> carefully. Do not rush. Do not screw on the tripod legs too tightly. Do not turn clamps or leveling screws too tightly. Leave the horizontal axis lightly clamped during horizontal-angle observation. Leave the lower motion unclamped during vertical-angle observations. Never carry the theodolite by its tripod. Direct the recorder to immediately record all readings in the notebook, while calling back thefigures clearly <strong>and</strong> promptly. Cultivate the impersonal attitude toward results, <strong>and</strong> read the angles without bias. An angleforced in order to give a good triangle closure will often cause a large angle <strong>and</strong> sidecorrection when the adjustment is made.3-15. Traits of a Good Recorder. A good recorder must be able to work quickly <strong>and</strong> accurately.Recorders should be thoroughly familiar with all phases of reading angles <strong>and</strong> recording them.
