Sensors & Software (pulseEKKO 100 and 1000 systems)
These fully digital systems are superior to the GSSI system and are
the most popular with academic and research institutions - I evaluated
the systems available and purchased pulseEKKO.  Contact Steve Cosway
or Dr. Peter Annan at 1091 Brevik Place, Mississauga, Ont, L4W 3R7,

Subject: Required by a major oil field service company, the siting of a Tri-Axial test stand to True North. UK only.
From: solanum@netcomuk.co.uk
Date: Sun, 01 Dec 1996 21:48:22 GMT
Required by a major supplier of services to the oil well drilling
industry a company who can site two test stand to True North.
The test stand is for the checking/calibration of inertial directional
downhole surveying equipment; magnetic means of siting are not an
option as the test stand is used in an area of high magnetic
interference.
One stand has been sited using the solar transit method, but the
second stand (being newly installed) has very limited access for the
solar transit method.
The stand azimuth is accurate to +/- 1 minute.
Please contact for more details;

nova, or some pbs program, produced a documentary about the surveying 
of india by the british in the mid 18th century. I've watched it.
All i can do is confirm that it exists. try http://www.pbs.org maybe
you can find furhter info there. or call some pbs affiliate in the
states.
