Normally I post items after thay arrive in Texas and I have a chance to do a bit of research. This time I could not wait.</p><p><br /></p><p>Line weithts were used in this instrument when surveying land.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1169220[/ATTACH] </p><p>Post something that had your name on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
