Abstract
In the last part we definitely spoke about precision geometry. Now, on the contrary, I pass to real practical geometry, that is to a type of geometry that has to actually perform geometrical operations. We distinguish between two kinds of practical activities: Measuring and drawing (including modelling) and correspondingly between two branches of practical geometry:
A. Geodesy (surveying),
B. Drawing geometry (descriptive geometry in the broadest sense of the word).
