Normal heightpoint.

Normal heightpoint for Sweden.

 

I think I just invented (?) a new word in English.

 

The first systematic measuring of height in Sweden was done between 1857 and 1885.

 

The result was labeled RH1860.

 

With improved, better instruments it was replaced pretty soon by the first precisionmeasurement RH 00.

 

Behind this locked door is a silver stick with a measurement scale that dates back to 1886.
