S. standard measure at 62 Fahrenheit, with about twelve pounds strain. A hundred-foot tape expands.0756 inch for each 10 rise in temperature. The tapes are wound in a leather or metal case with folding handle. See Nos. 800 to 835 of the Price List. Our Excelsior steel tape is well liked for use in mines. It is one-half inch wide, and is mounted on an open brass frame with folding handle. The tape is easily wound and unwound, and the open frame allows the evaporation of moisture. See Nos. 850 to 859B of the Price List.

Our chain tapes, Nos. 760 to 772, are also graduated with metric measure only, when so ordered, and are marked at each meter, with the first and last meter in decimeters. If graduated with vara measure only, they are marked at each vara, with the first and last vara in tenths. INFORMATION TO PURCHASERS HE Plain Compass will answer for original surveys, or for ascertaining the bearing of lines in the preparation of county maps. The Vernier Compass, or Vernier Transit Compass, will be required where allowance must be made for the magnetic declination, as in retracing the lines of an old survey. When local attraction must be taken into account, in addition to the magnetic declination, and angles must be taken independently of the needle, an instrument with a graduated limb must be...

Book Description
PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...
