    The capacity of doing work by an artisan or skilled labour in the form of quantity of work per day is known as the task work or out turn of the labour.

    The out-turn of work per artisan varies to some extent according to the nature, size, height, situation, location, etc., In bigger cities where specialized and experienced labour is available the out-turn is greater than small towns and country sides.  In well organized work less labour is required.

    Declination:

    I am providing more additional information about the declination, have a look.

    Here, I Attached a diagram of declination, through that we can clearly understand positive as well as negative declination.


    1. Whenever declination is towards the Eastwood direction then that declination is called positive declination.

    2. When a declination is going towards west word direction then it is called negative declination.

    True bearing is the sum of magnetic bearing plus declination.


    Thank you.
