Lecture 5 - Supplement To FW1 - Compass Traverse and Adjustments

1. The document describes the steps to adjust a closed compass traverse: compute and adjust interior angles, select the best line unaffected by local attraction, and adjust observed bearings of successive lines. 2. An example is given of adjusting the bearings of a closed compass traverse with 5 lines by first adjusting the interior angles at each station by +5 minutes, then adjusting the observed forward and back bearings of each line to close the traverse. 3. The adjusted interior angles and bearings of each line in the example traverse are shown after completing the adjustment.
