Le chef de brigade : Il organise l'ensemble du travail, contrôle continuellement sa bonne exécution, veille à ce que chacun remplisse exactement le rôle qui lui est imparti. Par lui-même, il prend les décisions importantes telles que le choix des stations, des méthodes à employer et des points à lever. Il doit connaître parfaitement son métier pour obtenir le meilleur travail avec un minimum de points de détail et de stations et avec la plus grande rapidité possible. Il doit aussi penser à utiliser le personnel d'une façon rationnelle évitant une fatigue excessive et inutile. Par exemple, pour le levé d'un versant, il fera déplacer les porte-mires suivant des horizontales au lieu de leur faire suivre en montant et en descendant des lignes de plus grande pente du terrain. Il doit veiller à ce que les documents (carnets et croquis) portent toutes les indications nécessaires à leur identification et à leur utilisation par des dessinateurs qui ne connaissent pas ce terrain. 1, record 9, French, - chef%20de%20brigade
