Fall comes to Camp Ho-Ba-Chee
As Summer begins to fade
we welcome Fall Fairs
and crisp, clear nights
the red and orange glow of leaves on trees
plaid wool jackets and blankets
sitting in a porch glider
drinking hot chocolate
and apple cider

TOO COOL! Vintage Surveyors Rod

The two piece telescoping pole would be sighted by the surveyor to obtain the needed measurement. The "target, shown in detail below, slides up or down until it matches the surveyors line of sight.
Here are some vintage images of surveyor rods in use:
