A chain measurement is called a "chain" because it historically refers to a physical measuring tool known as a "chain" used by surveyors, typically made up of linked metal segments. The most common type, known as Gunter's chain, was 66 feet long and divided into 100 links, making it convenient for measuring land. The term has persisted in modern surveying and land measurement practices, even as technology has evolved.
The Surveyors was created in 1972.
The duration of The Surveyors is 1.42 hours.
Surveyors and engineers. Please see the related link that talks about theodolites, who uses them, how they work, and a few neat pictures:
chain = 66 feet. rod = 16.5 feet [1/4 of a chain]. link = 7.92 inches (1/100 of a chain). acre = 10 square chains (10 chains by 1 chain = 660 ft x 66 ft = 43560 sq ft)
Reconnaissance in chain surveying is important because it involves gathering information about the area to be surveyed, such as identifying boundaries, obstacles, and terrain conditions. This helps surveyors plan the surveying process effectively and determine the best surveying methods to use. By conducting reconnaissance, surveyors can anticipate challenges and adjustments needed during the actual survey to ensure accurate and precise measurements.
