I recently saw an early 20th century land survey blueprint with a scale
listed as 1 inch = 200 ps. I am unclear about the "ps," since it could
be "photo scale," yet no conversion details were given. I was wondering
about "paces," but could not find another example. Various attempts at
disambiguation online have not yet yielded any other results. Thanks for
any information you can provide.
