SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the adjustment calculations in levelling work, specifically comparing the adjustments for back-to-same-point levelling (TBM1) and known-to-different-point levelling. The formula for adjustment is established as (Bs - Fs) / number of points, while the end closure adjustment is calculated as end closure / number of TP. A critical point raised is the discrepancy in the number of turning points (TP) used in the adjustment for cases 392-394, where only 2 TP were present, yet the author divided by 3, leading to questions about the correctness of the adjustment method applied.
