horizon line (h-^, h2, I13, I14, h^) in corresponding horizon photos are stereo-
scopically measured using the floating mark (Fig. 7). The differences of these
parallax readings, R^ - h^, R2 - h.2, R3 - I13, R4 - h^, R3 - h^, express the
displacement of the horizon line in the measured horizon photo relative to the
horizon line in the corresponding reference horizon photo.
The expression
(Rf - h^) + (R2 - h2> + (R3 - I13) 4- (R4 - I14) + (R5 - h 5 )

is the vertical displacement of the horizon line of the measured photo relative
to the corresponding reference horizon photo.

where f is the focal distance of the horizon camera, gives the relative
difference in inclination of the aerial camera between the
measured photo and the reference photo.
Since horizon photos are taken in four perpendicular directions,
the tip and tilt can be determined twice: the tip C^) from the forward and the
aft photos; and the tilt (to) , from the left and the right photos.
The differential tip and tilt can also be determined in a different
manner from the differential inclination of the horizon line. In this case, the
left or the right photo is used for the determination of ^ , and the forward or
aft photo for the determination of CO .
