Describe the procedure of indirect ranging.
Procedure of indirect ranging.
1. If two stations i.e. A and B are not visible, then two intermediate points M1 and N1 are selected such that both stations will be intervisible from it.
2. Now, bisect the ranging rod at N1 from A and direct the rodman to move in line of AN1 to get a new position as N2
3. Similarly, bisect the rod at M1 from B and move the rod at N to N1 to N2
4. Again, by observing N2 and M2 from A and B respectively, find the new position of intermediate points N3 and N4.
5. This should be continued till final points M and N are in line with AB, thus, ranging is said to be completed.
