6(a) Initially, a staff was held vertically at a distance of 46.2m and 117.6m from the centre of a theodolite fitted with stadia hairs and the staff intercepts with the telescope horizontal were 0.45m and 1.15m respectively. The instrument was then set over a station P having RL as 150m, the height of instrument axis being 1.38m. The stadia hair readings on a staff held vertically at a station Q with instrument at P were 1.200, 1.930 and 2.650 m respectively, while the vertical angle(depression) was - 9$^o$30'.
