From the Introduction:

Everyone interested in caves will use a survey for some purpose or another; it may be to see the length and shape of a cave, to determine a practical route, as a document on which to record data, or for some other reason. The purpose of this booklet is to provide a starting point for the person who wishes to make his own survey. It attempts to answer questions such as:
* How do I start surveying?
* What equipment is necessary?
* What techniques should I use?
* What problems will I have to overcome, and how?
* How do I produce the finished drawing?
