OS Flush Bracket 11174 - Cat & Fiddle Inn
OS Flush Bracket 11174 - Cat & Fiddle Inn
A flush bracket affixed to a Gravity Anomaly Survey Pillar at the side of the Cat & Fiddle pub; it probably was never really needed by the OS as part of height surveying, as there is another FB only 20 yards away on the front of the pub. However, its logged height from 1964 is 514.424m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn.
Gravity Anomaly Surveying is a branch of Earth Sciences which attempts to identify and quantify variations in the Earth's magnetic and gravitational field forces, using a variety of highly sensitive instruments. Amongst other applications, it is useful to the quarrying and mining industries, to say nothing of oil exploration, as it's often used to pick up unexpected variations in rock structures which in turn are often indicative of mineral and oil deposits.
