as the convergence angle increased beyond 60°. This might be
mainly due to the unfavorable angles at which the circular
targets used in that test (gummed reinforcements) were photo-
graphed and viewed. This situation led to a strong indication
that the optimum angle of convergence, in that particular pro-
ject, seems to be in the neighborhood of 609, with a B/D ratio
of approximately 1:1.
3.6. Further Studies
In order to test the theoretical and experimental indica-
tions of the preliminary investigations outlined in Section
3.5., a new series of theoretical and experimental studies was
conducted. The new investigations centered on the cases listed
in Table IV, and were conducted twice, using two different
observers, for checking purposes.
The formulae used in the preliminary investigation (Karara,
1966) were used in the 1967 studies. These formulae are listed
below for the sake of convenience. Referring to Fig. 23, the
standard deviation of the deduced object-space point coordinates
are as follows:
