When taping on smooth, level ground with minimal underbrush, the tape can rest directly on the ground.

The taping team includes a head and rear tapeman. When the end of the tape reaches the rear tapeman, they call "tape" to stop the head tapeman. 

The rear tapeman holds the end of the tape at the starting point and aligns the head tapeman using hand or voice signals to a range pole set beyond the endpoint.

On sloping, uneven ground or in dense underbrush, taping is done with the tape held horizontally, but one or both tapemen use a plumb bob for accuracy.

The breaking tape method is used while proceeding downhill. The head tapeman pulls the tape along the line and holds it horizontally from an intermediate point.

A plumb bob is aligned over a foot mark, and once the tape is stretched and leveled, the mark is set with a taping pin.

This mark is held until the rear tapeman arrives, then handed over at the foot mark.

This process is repeated, holding the tape horizontally in sections until reaching the zero end
