Site through theodolite/transit to determine where on measuring rod to place steel rule onto rod to allow visibility of steel rule through theodolite/transit/laser level at all (6) six measurement locations around reflector. Securely fasten both ends of steel rule to mea- suring rod with adhesive tape (see Figure 62).

Temporary supports should be positioned as shown in Figure 63, close to but not inter- fering with diameter setting bands.

Referring to Figure 63, mark the measuring location at each of the six temporary sup- port locations with a small dot (use felt tip marker) to be used as reference point in sub- sequent measurements.
