Abstract
It seems hardly necessary to stress the desirability for selective design since this first step in erecting engineering structures is decisive. Of course, the design, the mathematical processes, and the actual construction must be given equal weight if the operation is to be successful, consistent with the greatest degree of accuracy within the limits of justifiable expenditure. Granted the establishment of adequate mathematics and the development of competent physical implements (made available in the field of geodetics by the efforts of many practitioners through the years), it seems timely to make an effort to discuss the too-little-mentioned subject of design.
