ARE THREE POINTINGS NECESSARY?

In order to clarify the possibility of improving the accuracy of triangulated points with several readings, an experimental test comparing a single setting with a series of three settings on each model point at the flight of 1500 feet was conducted by the Washington State Highway Department. The results have shown that the accuracies did not improve by increasing the readings. The residual standard error depends mainly on the flight height.
