The accuracy of the positions stated by Belgrave (pers. comm. 1997) is as follows:
- Latitude is accurate to the nearest 0.5 seconds and the longitude is accurate to about 2.0 seconds. These equate to around 15 metres on the ground. The absolute height relative to mean sea level is within 20 metres. This is absolute position on the earth's surface relative to the coordinate of the Table Mt trig which has the above tolerances. Each of the four stations measured at Table Mt are, however, accurate relative to each other to within 0.10 metres for position and height.
Maps on the following two pages were compiled and drafted by Ian Jennings.
