horizon camera are introduced on the left and right plate holders. The next
step is to remove the remaining y-parallax with b z . This procedure is
repeated until the parallaxes effected by <K , by, and b z are removed.
Normally, there would not be any residual y-parallaxes in the stereo model due
to ^ and UJ , and the elements derived from the horizon camera need not be
corrected. However, if there were residual y-parallaxes present, they must be
removed with either ^ or lb ; then the average for ^ and CO for each
camera is introduced, similar to the procedure outlined for the B-8 plotter.
4.3.3 Horizon Camera Data Combined with Statoscope and Doppler Data
When, in addition to the horizon camera, statoscope data is avail
able, then the general (p or the b z component can be computed from this data
and introduced directly into the plotter. Our experience showed that the
determination of general § or b z , using the procedure described in paragraphs
4.3.1 and 4.3.2, is more accurate than the b z indicated by the statoscope.

However, the statoscope data combined with the data derived from
the horizon photos and the Doppler navigator make possible a method of bridging
which permits the plotting of any model within a strip, without the necessity of
triangulating all stereo models in the strip. Fig. 14 shows the principle of
this method. Assuming that in one stereo model of a strip, the flying height
above a vertical datum can be determined, then, using the statoscope data, it is
