n.11 e rr o r i s detined a s the differen ce between the ' .true
valu .: ct n r.l t he measured value of a quaot i.:-t y. ~tis a devia-
tion of an observat ion or a calculat ion fxom the true
va l ue and is often beyond the - c~ntrol of the on~ perfor~in g
the operatio n. Since the true value of a quantity can never
be asc e rt aine d by measurem ents, the'. exact va.lue of an
error , li ke~ise , can never b~ determin ed in any measure-
ment. . ,
Errors are inherent in all measurem ents and result from
s our c e s wh i c h cannot be avoided. They'may be caused by the
type of equipmen t used or by the way in which the ~guipmen t,
is employed . I t may a~so be caused by the impe~fec tions of
t he senses of the person undertak ing the measurem ent or by·
natural causes. T~e effects of · errors cannot be entirely
eliminate d; they can , however, be minimize d by - careful work
and by applying corre c t ions.
In ~ny s urve yi ng n j eration the surveyor is continuo usli
dealing wt th errors. I f the work must be performe d to
exacting sta ndards he mu s t understan d thorough ly the dif-
ferent kinds o~ error, . their sources and behavio·r , magni-
tude, and effects upon field measurem ents . It is only by
then that he can intellige ntly select the instrume nts to be
used and the survey methods t9 be employed which wilJ
redu ce errors to acceptab le limits.
