Actual wording was “Sure would be good to go back to those days” in reference to Brunton and tape cave surveying. I believe someone needs new glasses and a refresher course in 2nd Grade reading for interpretation. Mimi Jasek Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 22, 2019, at 10:11 PM, David wrote: >

Re: [Texascavers] Brunton Stories:

Dwight's story (see below) about paying $5 for a supposedly "defective" Brunton with east and west reversed reminds me of a similar story regarding metric hand tapes. Like cavers, archeologists were  the other group I belonged to who started using the metric system for documenting sites.  Good
