Record on a Field Book Page:

In common, following procedure can be adopted.

(a) Chainage record, i.e. distance along chain line begins from the bottom of the page and continued in the upward direction.

(b) Survey stations are recorded as a triangle at the end and beginning of a chain line. Their chainage is recorded inside the triangle.

(c) The chainage of points at that any offset is taken is written along the centre of ruled line as the recording progresses from bottom towards the top of the page.

(d) The perpendicular offsets (also oblique offset, if any) are noted on the side nearer to the object which is approximately sketched on the space beyond centre line. The objects are not drawn to scale but drawn proportionately within free hand. The sketch shall not cross the space among central lines.

(e) The record of a chain line on a page should end along with end station. The record of new chain line shall begin on a fresh page.
