changeable cam disc. The profiles are
scanned in the F-direction at a speed regu
lated by the operator, the instrument auto
matically indexes in X, but the Z-corrections
are introduced by the operator with the
right-hand wheel and transmitted to the tape
punch through the impulse generator.
The orthoprojector, which projects the
imagery, is a photocarrier of the same type
as used for model scanning in the C8. This
unit is shown in Figure 2. The complete
analogy between the scanner and the projec
tor permits optimum imagery as well as
transfer of setting values. Moreover, the in
strument can be oriented to preplotted con
trol points, so that rectification or a check of
orientation can be made independently of
the readout desk.
New Methods of Differential
Rectification
The two methods of differential rectifica
tion mentioned above can only be employed
with specific plotting equipment. They yield
exact results only when operating with con
gruent bundles of rays. Thus, for every new
focal-length a special projector must be used.
Drobyshev proposed using the Stereograph
SD with auxiliary equipment for differential
rectification. The affine transformation would
avoid dependence on a particular focal-
length. Nonetheless, even in this proposal
differential rectification is possible only in
