CONCLUSION 
The UNAMACE has been established as 
an exceedingly useful tool for the extraction 
of basic map data from a variety of input 
photography. Three are now being operated 
by the Army Map Service. A fourth unit is 
being used by the U.S. Army Engineer Topo- 
graphic Laboratory to evaluate new tech- 
niques and procedures, 
The Automatic Photomapper currently 
is being tested and evaluated by the U.S. 
Army Engineer Topographic Laboratory. 
It is expected that additional units of this 
configuration will be constructed for use 
in near-site mapping throughout the world. 
These equipments have demonstrated 
dramatically that the automatic extraction 
of altitude data and concurrent production 
of orthophotos is very practical. They will 
form the nucleus of an increasingly auto- 
mated map production operation. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENT 
The UNAMACE and Automatic Photo- 
mapper have resulted from automatic map- 
ping efforts conducted by The Bunker-Ramo 
Corporation since 1960 and from earlier 
related activities. The Automatic Stereo- 
mapper?, an automated Kelsh plotter, was 
operational in 1962. The Automatic Map 
Compilation System*, a laboratory equip- 
ment having many of the features of the 
UNAMACE, was producing good ortho- 
photos and altitude charts in 1963. 
We have been indeed fortunate that the 
small team responsible for these develop- 
ments has been able to stay together over 
this period. Mr. M. L. Baker, electronic 
engineer and now Manager of the Automatic 
Mapping Department at Bunker-Ramo, was 
project engineer for the Automatic Stereo- 
mapping System, for the first UNAMACEs, 
and for the Automatic Photomapper; the 
success of these equipments attests to his 
engineering skill and devoted labors. Mr. 
George Miller, mechanical engineer, was 
responsible for the precision design of all 
of the equipments; these have proven to be 
very accurate and remarkably trouble-free. 
Mr. Glenn Kimball, electronic engineer, did 
much of the detailed electronic design on 
both the UNAMACE and the Automatic Map 
Compilation System.
