240 SURVEYING.<br />

A B, as the bearing is<br />

N E. Mark the point of<br />

angle measurement care-<br />

fully, and draw a line joining<br />

it and the point A.<br />

This line will give the di-<br />

rection of the first course,<br />

the end of which is at<br />

Sta. 5 + 20, giving 520<br />

ft. for the length of that course. On this<br />

line lay off to a scale of 600 ft. to the inch the<br />

distance 520 ft., locating the point C, which is<br />

Sta. 5 + 20. Through Cdraw a meridian C D, and<br />

with the protractor lay off the bearing angle<br />

N 40° 50' E to the right of the meridian, mark-<br />

ing the point of angle measurement and joining<br />

it with the point 6" by a straight line, which will<br />

be the direction of the second course. The end<br />

of this course is Sta. 10 + 89, and its length is<br />

the difference between 1,089 and 520, which is<br />

Co.<br />

569 ft. This distance scale off from C, locat-<br />

ing the point £ at Sta. 10 4- 89. In a similar<br />

manner plat the remaining courses given in<br />

the example. Write the bearing of each line<br />

directly upon the line, taking care that the<br />

bearings shall read in the same direction<br />

as that in which the courses are being<br />

run.
