On the accumulation of errors in surveying mining traverses
Abstract
The question of the accumulation of errors in a mine traverse of arbitrary shape leads to the consideration of complex formulas that do not allow one to draw any general conclusions or provide general rules for resolving the issue in various practical cases. The possibility of simplification begins from the moment we ascribe some regularity to the polygonal line. In ordinary mine traverses, such a simple regularity of the polygonal line is absent; straight extended traverses are encountered rather rarely, and the aforementioned regular polygonal line even more rarely. At the same time, it cannot be said that any regularity whatsoever is absent in the shape of ordinary mine traverses, at least in the coal mines of southern Russia, which we have mainly in mind throughout the entire subsequent discussion.
