Not illustrated. 1864 Excerpt: ...from Cape L'Agulhas, 275 miles in a straight line, agreed with that obtained by spirit levelling to within 23 feet, which was the largest discrepancy, so that when this was distributed there was probably very little error. The latitude, longitude, and reciprocal azimuthal bearings were computed geodetically according to the formulary used on the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain, taking the points Kapocberg, Great Winter Hook, Zondereindeberg, and Cape L'Agulhas, (so accurately determined by Sir T. Maclear) as data. The latitude, longitude, and reciprocal bearing in azimuth of any point was determined from two or more other stations and the mean taken. The very clear agreements of the results proved that there were no errors in the computations, and that the bearings and distances on which they were based were not contradictory. The latitude and longitude of every point fixed was calculated. All calculations of every kind, reductions, abstracts, &c, were made independently in duplicate, compared, and checked. Babbage's tables of logarithms were used, and the length of the radius of curvature and normal taken from Airy's Elements given in the Encyclopaedia Metropolitans. The necessity of measuring a base line of verification to test the accuracy of the work by a comparison of the length of one side of a triangle as determined by computation, with the same side actually measured on the ground, was foreseen at an early period; and Ramsden's steel chain was recommended to the Governor. It had given very consistent and satisfactory results on the Ordnance Survey, and there would be a great saving in time and expense in using it in preference to Colby's bars, and it was thought that the loan of the chain could be obtained from the Ordnance Survey.
