	Ordnance Survey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ordnance Survey (OS) is an executive agency of the United Kingdom government.
		It was not until 1790 that the Board of Ordnance (the predecessor of the Ministry of Defence) began a national military survey starting with the south coast of England in anticipation of a French invasion.
		For the second survey, in 1935, this process was also used, and resulted in the building of many short (approx four feet high), square, triangulation points (trig points) - concrete pillars on top of various high points and the working out the exact position of these by triangulation.
