The formula is developed for determining the lamer limit of
the flying height, and it is demonstrated that apart from
special cases such as for mountainous terrain and cities, 120°
photography can be used for mapping at large scales. It is
known that the RC9/A9/B9 and the RC9/B8 combinations are being
used profitably for mapping at scales as large as 1:5B0B,
a contributory reason being the possibility of obtaining
economical photo scales from flying heights below the level
where the use of oxygen is essential. This factor assumes
greater importance over high-lying terrain. A test on the
larger-scale applications is at present being conducted by
the Institute for Geodesy and Photogrammetry, ETH, Zurich.
