Holes may be dug to bury them. Where many boulders are pushed into a hole they afford unsafe footing for a bulldozer and may pile up above the desired grade. A moderate amount of dirt, either scraped off the bank or trucked to the spot, will allow the dozer to fill in the holes and stabilize the rocks so that it can walk across them in pushing other boulders to their resting place. 49 Getting boulder out of a hole. If the area is to be finished to a grade, it pays to be liberal in supplying covering soil, for if the layer is thin, the dozer working on it may hook into freshly buried rocks and turn them into high positions.
Spirit levels may be 3 to 10 inches long. The telescope is focused by means of a knob on the side or top, and possibly by a turning eyepiece also. The field of view of the telescope is divided into quarters by the crosshairs, shown in Fig. 3(A), which are held in a frame or diaphragm inside the telescope. Provision is usually made to make these visible or invisible by focusing the eyepiece. The horizontal hair is used for taking levels. If it is correctly placed in the telescope, and the telescope is properly leveled, it indicates the slice of the field of view which is level with the observer’s eye.
10A. A rod in the decimal scale has the tenths of feet each divided into 10 equal sections, alternating black and white. If inches are shown, each is divided into eight equal bars of alternating color. The target, Fig. 10B, is a metal disc that slides on a track on the sides of the rod. It is painted in quadrants, alternately red and white, with the division lines horizontal and vertical, or in other conspicuous patterns. The rod operator moves the target up and down on the rod in response to signals from the instrument operator.
