USE OF TELLUROMETER.—A tellurometer being used during the mapping of country on Banks Peninsula. This modern equipment has assisted considerably in speeding up the mapping work. It emits a short-wave signal, which is reflected and returned by another part of the equipment operated from another point of the country to be mapped. The time taken for the signal to traverse the intervening space is then converted into distance. The machine is accurate to within 6in in 20 miles.
