Excerpt from Geodesy General Instructions for Precise and Secondary Traverse; U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, 1919
Although traverse has been used in place of triangulation by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey at various times in the past it has never been used on so large a scale as in the recent work. The methods employed in the work were largely experimental at first, but they have been gradually changed and improved until they have become practically standard.
