Abstract
On the occasion of the 300th consecutive issue for Survey Review since the first was published in July 1931, we are granted an opportunity to summarize the past developments in the field of land surveying and geomatics.

This initial counting tool was in wide use when Survey Review commenced its opening publication page. It can be compared with the contemporary computer as an advancement tag.
