After completing the test concerning the control device we repeated
the ten grid bridgings by means of the simple visual transfer, from
the righthand to the lefthand camera, of the three parameters w, 9, x
of the outside angle orientation. Of course during this second test we
kept unaltered the ideal technical features taken on in precedence.
The results attained in these two bridgings are shown on plate
No. 1.
The examination of this plate clearly indicates that the intervention
of the control device resulted particularly effective as compared with
the simple visual transfer of the three parameters concerned, in trans
ferring the azimuth from one stereogram to another along the whole strip.
In both bridgings after the fifth connextion we registered, as appears
evident, an almost identical fall of altitude, which in the former how
ever was accompanied by an increasing and noticeable warping of the
resulting space model. The latter circumstance is perhaps partly to be
justified by the systematic correction of about I e which was in fact
introduced from the fifth photograph onwards on the to of the control
device, and partly residuate errors in the geometric condition of
the instrument.
Logically, the observations derived from these two pilot tests allowed
further to refine the instrument adjustments carried out in advance on
the device itself, allowing also to devise some means to improve the
operational practice followed in the next bridging of real photographs.
