The Great Trigonometrical Society

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Following info is not related to the article and can be used while creating an article on The Great Trigonometrical Society :

The Society was created by Colonel William Lambten in Chennai on April 10, 1802.

There is nothing — and never was anything — called the Great Trigonometrical Society. There was, and still is, The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India, a part of the Survey of India, instituted in Calcutta in the 1760s, one of the first central services to be created by the East India Company in the wake of its conquest of Bengal.

Bibliography and source:

Reginald Henry Phillimore, Historical Records of the Survey of India, 5 volumes (Dehra Dun: Survey of India, 1945-1968)

The name Lambten needs to corrected to LAMBTON.

Nain Singh Rawat → Nain Singh – I believe "Nain Singh" is the COMMONNAME here - all sources I can find from when he was alive (admittedly mostly British sources rather than Indian) and the majority of modern scholarly sources I've reviewed call him "Nain Singh" rather than "Nain Singh Rawat." My understanding is that Rawat is a caste or clan name rather than a family name. See discussions at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Humanities/2020_September_5#Nain_Singh_Rawat_-_which_is_the_surname? and Special:Permalink/978831190#Raj-era_sourcing_questions. Since the opposite move was made a while back in 2008 (see [1]), I'm bringing this to RM instead of moving it unilaterally. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:38, 22 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
