Chartwell Survey Notebook – 2006

Chartwell Survey Notebook – 2006 model is a common field notebook for use in surveying, engineering, and earth science sectors or fields of study. It features a bright yellow cover for high visibility, useful if you accidentally drop or misplace your book. The covers are hard, further providing you with a flat, sturdy surface to write or sketch upon. Quite useful especially when out in the field. Top bound, it opens from the top and over, allowing notes from one side right to the others. Overall this notebook measures 205 x 130 mm and is handy to place in your rucksack, carry in your hand or even slip into large coat pockets.

The Chartwell Survey Notebook – 2006 version contains 80 leaves of 50% rag bond paper. It is water resistant and quick drying, ensuring no loss of notes or sketches taken. Especially in environments where the elements can change from one moment to the next. The pages are held and sewn with rot-proof thread, so will not unravel when wet. Thanks to the high cotton linter count, the paper also has fantastic tear-resistance and strength. Again, all of these features serve these notebooks well in the field where conditions are not always preferable.

The pages feature horizontal faint blue lines on each side to aid in note-taking. Additionally, two red vertical lines down the center are also present. This is for noting down separate information for quickly referring back to, in reference to the main notes. For example, geologists may wish to note down dip and strike measurements in this column. Whereas other earth scientists, foresters, or ecologists and so, may wish to note down tree heights. Engineers in turn will wish to jot down slope angles and percentages here. Therefore, field notebooks are an important requirement for field work, alongside other common items. Such as a compass clinometer, hand lens and a geological hammer.
