The rod or perch or pole is a surveyors tool and unit of length equal to 5 1⁄2 yards, 161⁄2 feet, 1⁄320 of a statute mile or one-fourth of a surveyor's chain and 5. 0292 meters. The rod is useful as a unit of length because whole number multiples of it can form one acre of square measure. The perfect acre is a rectangular area of 43, 560 square feet, bounded by sides of length 660 feet and 66 feet(220 yards and 22 yards) or, equivalently, 40 rods and 4 rods. An acre is therefore 160 square rods. Since the adoption of the international yard on 1 July 1959, the rod has been equal to exactly 5. 0292 meters.  1, record 3, English, - rod

Another way to find the datum level of an object is with the aqua-level.... A transparent plastic hose..., the length to depend on the extent of the site and the clarity of the water, is the main tool. One diver fills it with air and the air-water interface of one end of the hose is held by a diver on the object selected to be the datum level, generally the highest object on the site. The hose..., forms an arc, and the opposite end of it is held by another diver holding a range pole vertically over the object to be measured. The position of the air-water interface on the range pole then indicates the elevation between the two points.  1, record 6, English, - aqua%2Dlevel

The Rutschblock test(shear block) and it's cousin the Rutschkiel test... have rapidly become the standard snowpit test of choice for avalanche professional who do a lot of snowpits... First, on a slope of at least 30 degrees, isolate a block of snow about a ski length across, and a ski pole length up the slope(2 meters wide by 1. 5 meters upslope). If you use a snow saw which mounts on the end of an avalanche probe ski pole you can cut the block in under a minute...

Special ski poles are made to be assembled into a probe(after the baskets and handles are removed). Because of their greater diameter, conical shape, and shorter length, ski pole probes are more difficult to use, but they can be valuable tools in emergencies.

Collapsible (or sectional) probes are preferred over ski-pole probes.

There are three ways to tell whether gaffs are sharpened properly. Step 1 : Three ways to maintain climbers : 1. 1. Gauging. This method checks the gaff's length, width, and thickness and the profile of its point.... 1. 2. Plane test. This method may be used with the gauge or independently if the gaffs are sharpened by machine. The test is made by using a soft board to tell whether proper sharpness has been reached. Place the climber with the gaff side down and parallel to the board without applying downward pressure above the gaff. Push the climber along the board. If the gaff is properly contoured and sharpened, it will dig into the wood and hold within approximately one inch. If the climber continues to glide along the board for more than one inch, it needs more honing. 1. 3. Pole cutout. After the climbers have been machine sharpened or gauged(and as often as required thereafter), the gaffs may be tested on a pole.  1, record 11, English, - plane%20test
