Ordnance Survey Triangulation Pillar (Trig Point) 1/10 scale

thingiverse

This is a model (1/10 scale) of a standard British Ordnance Survey Triangulation Pillar or Trig Point as they are more commonly known. These were constructed & used for the accurate mapping of Gt. Britain during the 1930s & 1950s. Over 6500 were built at levels ranging from -1m below sea level to the highest point of Britain - Ben Nevis in Scotland. Many followed the standard concrete pillar design by Brigadier Martin Hottine, although cylinder and stone block Trig Points were also used. The Trig Point I have designed follows the standard Hottine design. The trig Point can be printed on its own or by printing the base, you can create a functional model, as the base can double as a 'Keepsake' box if you do not glue the Trig Point in place. I have uploaded a number of Flush brackets too, as well as a generic blank one, which just has an 'S' for the Trig point number.
