A method of signal coincidence is applied to the first order triangulation net in the Chubu District. The old and new surveys were carried out in 18831897 and 19511960, respectively. The old survey involved 3 base-line surveys, while the new survey involved 1 base-line survey and 3 side-line measurements with an electronic distance measurement device. Although the new survey involved several Laplace stations, no astronomical observation was carried out in the old survey. So large scale factor s= V
r/R is unexpected in displacement vectors between the old and new surveys. But somewhat large rotation a=V
θ/R may be involved. These facts are clearly demonstrated in Fig. 3. After treatment of the method of signal coincidence, horizontal movements are ob tained, and their final result is shown in Fig. 6. It is interesting that large horizontal movements amounting to about 2 m with the direction of WNW in the Tokai area which is near to epicenters of huge earthquakes occurred in 1096, 1498, 1707 and 1854. Hori zontal strain is also calculated for the Chubu District.
