    Back Sight: Backsight is simply a first reading which is taken after setting up the instrument.  Why the backsight is also called plus sight: Only because the reading is taken of known elevation to continue taking foresight reading.  Thank You.

    Function of Arches :- The arches of the foot, formed by the tarsal and metatarsal bones, strengthened by ligaments and tendons, allow the foot to support the weight of the body in the erect posture with the least weight.

    In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorous, sulfur and excess carbon are removed from the source iron and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon, and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.
