Every man his own civil engineering and surveyor; a manual in two parts ..
A self-instruction manual on surveying and civil engineering by Smith Casterline, printed at Hartford City, Indiana, in 1895 for farmers, builders, and rural officials doing their own land measurement. The line cuts show graduated rods and levelling staffs, a tripod-mounted circular plate with sighting fittings, lettered right-triangle diagrams on dark hatched grounds, and labelled instrument parts with keyed captions, useful for scale markings, measurement diagrams, and small mechanical detail.
