ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAMMETRICAL ACTIVITY 1938—1955 
The period 1938—1951. 
A. Terrestrial Photogrammetry. 
Instruments: 1 Zeiss-Orel Stereoautograph 
3 Zeiss Photo-theodolites. 
Area compiled. 
Scale Area 
1938—1947 1:50 000 5100 km2 
1948—1951 1:50 000 1830 km2 
In Norway, the method has been favorably applied in the mountain 
regions, in the fiord-districts of Western Norway and in the inner part 
of Troms in Northern Norway. 
This method was used for topographic mapping purpose for the last 
time in 1951. It has, however, been used later on for scientific purposes. 
From 1955 the above mentioned equipment has been transferred to the 
Institute of Surveying of the Agricultural University of Norway. 
B. Aerial Photogrammetry. 
Instruments. 
1 Zeiss-Bauersfeld Stereoplanigraph C 5, transferred to the Norwegian 
Polar Institute in 1948. 
1 Wild A 5 purchased 1947 
2 Wild A 6 purchased 1948 
1 Wild A 6 purchased 1951 
The aerial cameras used are Zeiss RMK, f-21, Zeiss RMK Topo-
