The astronomical latitude and longitude were determined here in 1914 by
Sir F. De Filippi. The station has not been connected to G.T. triangulation, and
the geodetic values are therefore not yet known. The longitude was determined
by wireless telegraphic signals transmitted from Lahore and timed simultaneously
at Dehra Dūn and Kāshgar.
The station is situated in the old Muhammadan cemetery between the
British and Russian consulates north of Kōne-shahr. The exact nature of the
station is not yet known (1921).
