A principal meridian is a principal meridian geography meridian used for survey control in a large region. Canada The Dominion Land Survey of Western Canada took its origin at the First or Principal Meridian, located at 97 27 28.41 west of Prime Meridian Greenwich , just west of Winnipeg, Manitoba . Six other meridians were designated at four degree intervals westward, with the seventh located in British Columbia the second and fourth meridians form the general eastern border and the western border of Saskatchewan . United States File Meridians baselines.png thumb 300px right Figure 1. This BLM map depicts the principal meridians and baseline surveying baselines used for surveying states colored in the PLSS. In the United States Public Land Survey System , a principal meridian is the principal north south line used for survey control in a large region, and which divides townships between east and west. The meridian meets its corresponding baseline surveying baseline at the point of origin, or initial point , for the land survey. For example, the Mount Diablo Meridian , used for surveys in California and Nevada, runs north south through the summit of Mount Diablo State Park Mount Diablo . Often, meridians are marked with roads, such as the Meridian Avenue in San Jose, California , Meridian Road in Vacaville, California , both on the Mount Diablo Meridian , Meridian Road in Wichita, Kansas on the Sixth Principal Meridian, and Meridian Avenue in several western Washington counties generally following the Willamette Meridian. Baseline Rd or Base Line St. extends for about 40 miles from Highland, CA east of San Bernardino to La Verne, CA where it meets Foothill Blvd. See also Cardo Baseline surveying External links http www.pmproject.org The Principal Meridian Project US http www.blm.gov cadastral Manual pdffiles histrect.pdf History of the Rectangular Survey System Note this is a large file, approximately 46MB.

Image HUT NASA.jpg thumb 150px A Hard Upper Torso Assembly , or HUT , is a central component of several space suit s, notably Roscosmos Orlan space suit Orlan and NASA s Extravehicular Mobility Unit EMU . The fiberglass HUT forms a rigid enclosure about the upper body of the occupant, providing pressure containment for this part of the body. The HUT incorporates structural attachment points for the arms, Lower Torso Assembly LTA , helmet, chest mounted Display and Controls Module DCM , and Primary Life Support System Primary Life Support Subsystem PLSS backpack. ref cite web title Hard Upper Torso url http www.ssoar.org research space suits history torso.htm accessdate 2007 02 03 Dead link date October 2010 bot H3llBot ref The original HUT design for the EMU, first used in 1980, included bellowed shoulder bearings, which allowed for variation in the angle of the shoulder bearings. This allowed for one configuration to ease donning of the suit, and a different configuration to allow maximum mobility during Extravehicular activity EVA . However, the limited life of the bellows prompted a redesign in 1990 to a fixed shoulder bearing angle and position, referred to as the Planar HUT, resulting in reduced mobility and more difficult donning and doffing. ref name ILC cite paper author David Graziosi, Jinny Ferl and Keith Splawn title Development of a Space Suit Soft Upper Torso Mobility Sizing Actuation System version publisher ILC Dover LP date January 2004 url http www.ilcdover.com products aerospace defense pdfs 2004 Power SUT ICES.pdf format PDF accessdate 2007 02 03 ref Because of the high cost of manufacturing, only three sizes of HUTs are produced for the EMU.
