ment Agency. Bunker-Ramo is proud to be asso
ciated with this organization in bringing about
a significant improvement in the art of map
compilation.
However, the application of automatic map
compilation need not be limited to military appli
cations. Its use will be practical wherever the
mapping problem is sufficient to warrant the
initial investment. The initial cost, when amor
tized over any reasonable estimate of the pro
duction, should show a much lower cost per
model than can be achieved with conventional
instruments.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The mapping programs at The Bunker-Ramo
Corporation have been carried on by a project
team encompassing many talents and skills.
Mr. Melvin L. Baker, project engineer on the
UAMCE, and Mr. George P. Miller, senior
mechanical engineer, have contributed greatly to
the different programs. Mr. Glenn S. Kimball,
electrical engineer, and Mr. Floyd Smith, research
assistant, were particularly helpful in the success
ful demonstration of the Automatic Map Compila
tion System which made it practical to undertake
the UAMCE program.
