Photograph of Laussedat’s vertical-plate phototheodolite, 1898.
(Lent by the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris).
View of Mont Vàlerien, 1861.
Photograph print of a negative on “papier ciré” made by Laussedat in
September 1861 for the survey of the Fort du Mont Valérien during a
re-enactment of the siege.
(Lent by the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris).
Panel illustrating Laussedat’s method of photogrammetric, survey, 1863/8.
Prepared by Capi Javary’s company in the period 1863 to 1868.
(Lent by the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris)
Reproduction of Manzi’s photogrammetric map - “Saggio di rilievo foto
topografico”, 1876.
(Lent by the Istituto Geografico Militare, Florence).
Photograph of Laussedat’s universal phototheodolite, c 1902.
(Lent by the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris).
Fourcade terrestrial camera, 1904.
Used in the first photogrammetric survey in South Africa.
Its particular feature lies in the use of a reseau scale which was impressed
by ‘contact’ printing upon the photographic plate before the picture ex
posure was made. To do this a silvered glass reseau plate carrying a grid
scale of transparent cross lines ruled 5 mm apart in the silver coating
was placed immediately in front of the photographic plate with a slight
clearance. When the grid scale had been impressed photographically on
the plate, the reseau plate was let down and the terrain photographed in
the usual way.

Paganini’s phototheodolite, no 5, 1897 modified in 1912 by Rimbotti.
It was used in the Himalayan region for rapid mapping at scales of
1 : 50,000 and 1 : 100,000.
(Lent by the Istituto Geografico Militare, Florence).
Finsterwalder’s phototheodolite, 1895.
For terrestrial photogrammetry, using a vertical image plane. The ob
jective can slide vertically. Focal length /=16 cm; picture size,
12 X 16 cm.
(Lent by the Institut fiir Photogrammetrie, Technische Hochschule,
Munich).
Canadian photogrammetric outfit, 1925.
Comprises a camera and a transit theodolite each equipped with foot-
screws to fit the same tripod-head. All the survey data were measured
by means of the theodolite, and the camera was then substituted for the
theodolite without moving the tripod.
(Lent by the Science Museum. London).
Pulfrich-Zeiss stereocomparator, 1902/03.
The stereocomparator, of which this is a later model, was the first stereo
measuring instrument.
It was invented by Pulfrich for the measurement of the plane co-ordinates
of homologue image points on the photographs, to enable the spatial
co-ordinates of the corresponding object points to be computed mathe
matically.
(Lent by the R. E. Equipment Branch, War Office, England).
Fourcade measuring stereoscope, 1904.
Independently of Pulfrich (exhibit 22) and at about the same time,
