Did they also invest in a job lot of those special planning frames that measures 1m to the outside? They left you with an 50mm blind spot all the way round that many uninitiated diggers filled by simply expanding what was visible to fit. On the plus side, this must have increased productivity but probably not as much as the mega 5m by 5m frames we once borrowed from some chaps in Baldock.
