The surveys that Art Lange and I (and random others, often
including Rocco) were doing in the 1994-6 time frame (or so)
were accurate in many cases to sub-meter resolution. We stood around with
antennae stuck down the throats of various things for a l-o-o-n-g
time.
Unfortunately no one was able to locate this data among
Rick's effects after he died. It's now presumed lost.
(Actually I _may_ have it, or some of it. I kept
much of it on a long-deceased laptop which, mirabile dictu, I
actually backed up. I still have the diskettes, dozens of them.
Unfortunately they're in Norton Backup format and I no longer
have a copy of Norton Backup.)
