Needed for accurate , ie order of 1cm absolute levels determination.
The benchmark of consideration is just one brick remaining in-situ after
vehicle damage to a wall years ago.
Reconstructing the mark from the remaining one 2 parts of the trident
mark, taking a tracing off nearby ones, places the horizontal level mark
about 2 cm above the centre of the replacement stretcher above.
Looking around at other banchmarks in different towns and cities all
have the level cut mark at the exact centre of stretchers.
Anyone know what the criteria was, ie always without exception cut to
the centre of a brick and then surveyed to that point, X,Y and Z?
While at it ,as wwwland is no help. For flush bracket later forms is the
level mark the centre of the shortened upper recess hole , in the
styalised "blocky" form of the old War Dept trident arrow cut marks?
