Of interest is the "font" on that survey book cover. Carl, that was my old electric typewriter "font", the one we used when publishing two years of the Texas Caver in Dallas in the 60's. Katherine Goodbar and Jacquelyn Robinson alternated every other month in typing up each issue "full justified" on offset paper masters. As editor I typed up each month's issue first, putting in "xxxx" to the end of each line. Then on the 2nd typing, Katherine (or Jackie) would randomly put in extra spaces to full justify each line. I sure was glad to buy a "home computer" in 1979 with a word processor. And in 1986, Karen and I bought a Mac with Microsoft Word that wasn't limited to monospaced fonts. A long ways from typesetting in the mid 60's!
Oh yes, we still are working on improving our cave survey technology. It helps to have a dust proof Disto that shoots 280 feet when doing long survey shots with precision sketching. - Pete On Jul 29, 2013, at 8:20 PM, Carl Kunath wrote: Time flies when you’re having fun. . . . That appears to be a good example of the survey book that was widely in use in Texas in the 1960s. I think it was a Pete Lindsley design. It became the official TSA survey book in hopes of promoting better uniformity in our survey techniques which were not all that good at the time. Getting all that information on the front cover was a huge step forward! ===Carl Kunath From: John Corcoran Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 3:44 PM To: 'Andy Komensky' ; [email protected] Subject: Re: [SWR] Fort Stanton Thanks Andy, I remember that you were on the very first survey team for FSCSP when we started at the entrance and began the Main Corridor survey (see attached survey book cover)!
