Autrefois les arpenteurs utilisaient une véritable chaîne composée de maillons pour mesurer une distance entre deux points. C'est pourquoi cette opération s'appelle un chaînage. Aujourd'hui la chaîne a été remplacée par un ruban à mesurer [...] Il existe d'autres méthodes pour mesurer une distance. Le télémètre électronique transmet une série d'ondes à une vitesse constante. Celle-ci est réfléchie sur un prisme et revient vers son point de départ. Le temps entre l'émission et la réception permet de calculer la distance entre le télémètre et son prisme. On peut également obtenir une distance par calcul (méthode d'intersection). Sur des distances relativement courtes (inférieures à 30 mètres) les meilleures précisions sont obtenues par un chaînage. 3, record 7, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9m%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A9lectronique
