Messkettenentfernung Explanation: A chain is a British measurement of distance, equivalent to 66 feet or approximately 20 metres. The "chain measure" is translated as the "Messkette", and as already indicated, is only used in surveying. Caution however is needed, as the expression most commonly appears in the term "time chainage diagram (or chart)", which translates as "Zeit-Wege Diagramm". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs 8 mins (2004-04-12 13:25:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Chainage\" is derived in the same way as \"mileage\", \"yardage\" etc. A \"time chainage diagram\" is effectively a flow-chart, or time against distance chart. |

lineares Entfernungsmessen ("chainage") Explanation: so würde ich das umschreiben. 1. Chainage: linear distance The glossary below lists thes definition under the section "Surveying" 2. Ernst says: chaining (survey) / Vermessen n mit der Kette 3. Chaining: Historically a chain made up of 100 links was used for distance measurement, and this terminology has stayed with surveying ever since. Chainage is a bit of jargon that now applies to measurement with a steel band, fibreglass tape, 'Stylon' tape, or a cloth tape; in fact any item that measures the distance directly in the field. It is fairly quick, easy and cheap, and hence is the most common form of distance measurement. Unfortunately, chainage is prone to errors and mistakes and these will be discussed later, but this is the fundamental technique used for distance measurement in planar geomatics science. http://www.sli.unimelb.edu.au/planesurvey/prot/topic/top03-0...
