The value of à = x", — x, can be with a high degree of accuracy obtained from the equation.

Therefore, if the point m can be plotted by means of an ordinary spatial lever system,
then the point m/ on the photograph will be got with aid of a secondary lever system con-
nected with the former by a linkage to
actuate an additional displacement of
the photograph on the value ó, ac-
cording to the equation (1).
Fig. 4 represents the Stereoprojec-
tor SPR-2 designed by G. V. Romanov-
sky. In the lower part of this instru-
ment is arranged a drawing board on
Which the map is compiled. Above the
board are disposed the three carriages
X, Y,Z.On the carriage Z are set the
base components b,, b,, kb,. Precise
levers rotate about the projection
centers S,, S5; with their lower ends
the levers are coupled with the gimbal
systems kb. and b,; with their upper
ends they are coupled with the gimbal
systems of the carriages of the photo-
graphs arranged horizontally.
The ratio of distance from the
projection centers to photographs, and
those to the base components, deter-
mines the model scale, which can be
changed from 0.5 to 2 as compared with
the scale of the photographs. By
changing these distances it is also pos-
sible to fix the coefficient of stereo-
model transformation, which coefficient
remains invariable all the time the plot-
ting is performed. The vertical dis-
Fig. 4. placement of the carriage Z gives the
contour interval of the stereomodel.
In Fig. 5 is illustrated the scheme of the transformation of directions. Here are:

a lever for making resection, connected through a linkage with the carriage of the
photograph, the orientation elements of which photograph are x, and Ax fia;
the ends of the supplementary levers, arranged on the picture-carriages; the ends

of the said levers are set on the values of the “decentrations” 5 in order to
bring these ends to the zero warping point.
The right-hand supplemental lever carries a platform 5; in the process of orientation,
the pushing device 6 is set on the value da in relation to the center of the said platform.
