Book excerpt: Excerpt from Results of Spirit Leveling in Texas, 1896 to 1910, Inclusive Bench marina - The standard bench marks are of two forms. The first form is a circular bronze or aluminum tablet (0 and E, Pl. I), 3% inches in diameter and one-quarter inch thick, having a 3-inch stem, which is cemented in a drill hole in solid rock in the wall of some public building, a bridge abutment, or other substantial masonry structure. The second form (f, pi. I), used where masonry or rock is not available, consists of a hollow wrought-iron post 3% inches in outer diameter and 4 feet in length. The bottom is spread out to a width of 10 inches in order to give a firm bearing on the-earth. A bronze or aluminum-bronze cap is riveted over the top of the post, which is set about 3 feet in the ground. A third style of bench mark with abbreviated lettering (b and D, Pl. I), is used for unimportant points. This consists of a special copper nail 1% inches in length driven through a copper washer seven-eighths inch in diameter. The tablets, as well as the caps on the iron posts, are appropriately let bered, and cooperation by States is indicated by the addition of the State name (g, Pl. I).
