New graphic methods for determining the depth and thickness of strata and the projection of dip

January 1, 1919

Geologists, both in the field and in the office, frequently encounter trigonometric problems the solution of which, though simple enough, is somewhat laborious by the use of trigonometric and logarithmic tables. Charts, tables, and diagrams of various types for facilitating the computations have been published, and a new method may seem to be a superfluous addition to the literature.
