GLASGOW UNIVERSITY Dept. of Geography 
The department has produced photogrammetric elevations of parts of the 
Caledonian Road church, Glasgow, and some similar projects have been 
undertaken.

HUNTING SURVEYS LTD 
Extensive use has been made of terrestrial photogrammetry for the plotting 
of historic buildings, including Hampton Court Palace and the Houses of 
Parliament, for restoration and archival purposes. Terrestrial photogrammetry 
has also been applied to engineering and industrial problems including the 
checking of a tunnel alignment and for the survey of dam sites and quarry faces 
where precipitous terrain precluded the use of vertical photography. 
Vertical photography has been used for the volumetric computation of 
power station fuel stocks and quarry extraction Surveys, carried out annually 
for auditing purposes. 
Infra-red linescan has also been successfully employed at home and abroad 
in the study of thermal pollution from power stations and to locate sources of 
geothermal energy. 
HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT Ministry of Defence (Navy) 
A number of tidal stream and current surveys have been made. Current 
vectors have been plotted automaticly, using a computer to process digitised 
output from a Wild A8 plotter, and to control automatic drafting equipment. 
Over a period of years, studies have also been made of changes of shore lines 
and drying banks. 
IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES 
The use of photogrammetry for the design of Chemical plant continued, but 
has now ceased. Photogrammetry has been used to study the behaviour of yacht 
sails under different wind conditions. (72, 73) 
LONDON UNIVERSITY. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Dept. of 
Photogrammetry and Surveying 
Non-topographic photogrammetry has continued to be one of the 
Department's chief concerns. Important developments have occurred in 
architectural photogrammetry during the period and close links have been 
established with the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments and the " 
Ancient Monuments Branch of the Department of the Environment. The College 
has been responsible for surveys at the Tower of London (1:96 scale) and 
Fountain's Abbey (7) (1:50 scale) and control was provided for external surveys 
at York Minister. There have also been close associations with Meridian 
Airmaps Ltd. in the development of architectural photogrammetry as a 
commercial undertaking, mainly on the European continent. Most of the work 
at Petra (8), involving the survey of tomb facades, was of a similar nature.
