133-481: The Great Trigonometrical, Topographical and Revenue Surveys into the Survey of India. Triangulation surveys were based on a few carefully measured baselines and a series of angles. The initial baseline was measured with great care since the accuracy of the subsequent survey was critically dependent upon it. Various corrections were applied, principally temperature. An especially accurate folding chain

The first ascent of K6 was in 1970, by an Austrian party, which was led by Eduard Koblmueller and included Gerhard Haberl, Christian von der Hecken and Gerd Pressl via the Southeast Ridge from the Nangmah Glacier. The expedition had originally planned to climb Malubiting but the Pakistan government withdrew this permission after

The baseline was 7.5 miles (12.1 km) long. Lieutenant Kater was despatched to find high vantage points on the hills of the west so that the coastal points of Tellicherry and Cannanore could be connected. The high hills chosen were Mount Delly and Tadiandamol . The distance from coast to coast

304-520: Was 360 miles (580 km) and this survey line was completed in 1806. The East India Company thought that this project would take about five years, but it took nearly 70 years, well past the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the end of company rule in India . Because of the extent of the land to be surveyed, the surveyors did not triangulate the whole of India but instead created what they called

323-589: Was a project that aimed to carry out a survey across the Indian subcontinent with scientific precision. It was begun in 1802 by the British infantry officer William Lambton , under the auspices of the East India Company . Under the leadership of his successor, George Everest , the project was made the responsibility of the Survey of India . Everest was succeeded by Andrew Scott Waugh , and after 1861,

In 1800, shortly after the Company victory over Tipu Sultan , William Lambton, an infantry soldier with experience in surveying, proposed to remedy precisely that, through a series of triangulations , initially through the newly-acquired territory of Mysore , and eventually across the entire subcontinent . The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India started on 10 April 1802 with

361-432: Was used, laid on horizontal tables, all shaded from the sun and with constant tension. The early surveys made use of large and bulky theodolites made by William Carey, a zenith sector made by Jesse Ramsden , and 100-foot (30 m) chains. Later surveys used more compact theodolites. Accurate instruments could not always be purchased through the standard system of government contract, and Everest personally supervised
