To what is the ground rod value equal?

In leveling, the reading you get on the rod placed at the forward point is the foresight. That forward rod reading is the value used to determine the elevation of the next point, after you’ve set the instrument height with a backsight. The ground rod value is this forward ( foresight) reading, not the backsight or any combination involving the grade rod. So the ground rod value is equal to the foresight reading.
