When We Use Ranging?

Ranging poles (see Fig. 7) are used to mark areas and to set out straight lines on the field. They are also used to mark points which must be seen from a distance, in which case a flag may be attached to improve the visibility.

When should Ranging be done?

Indirect ranging is employed when the two points are not intervisible or the two points are at a long distance. This may be due to some kind of intervention between the two points.

How do you use a ranging rod?

The correct way to hold a ranging pole is to keep it loosely between thumb and index finger, about 10 cm above the soil (see Fig. 10). When the observer indicates that the ranging pole is in the right position, the assistant loosens the pole.
