printout table, and electronic correlation circuitry. The 
scanning and printout table was used for scanning the diapositive 
pair with two CRTs and for the printout of the orthophotograph 
and the line drop contours by two additional CRTs. Mechanical 
problems were simplified by assembling these four units on one 
table. Since the design of the UNAMACE is based on the principles 
demonstrated in the very successful Automatic Map Compilation 
System, no further description of the equipment will be given here. 
20. The contract for the UNAMACE was awarded to Ramo-Wooldridge 
Corporation (later Bunker-Ramo Corporation), Canoga Park, California, 
in 1963, by GIMRADA, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. It included a number 
of new features intended to enhance its utility in a production 
environment and increase the speed and accuracy of its operation 
over its predecessor, the Automatic Map Compilation System. It 
was designed to accept universal inputs, such as a large range 
in focal lengths and tilts, 9" x 18" input diapositives and all 
known photographic camera configurations including convergent e à 
frame and panoramic pairs. The equipment was designed in a manner 
to avoid any mechanical limitations that would influence speed and 
scan size. Its scan-search pattern is essentially all electronic 
and inertia-free thereby permitting very small scan size and optimum 
delineation of contour detail. 
21. The UNAMACE as currently designed and programmed will 
accomplish the following: 
a. Operates as a precision comparator. 
b. Performs relative and absolute orientation from its 
own comparator measurements. 
c. Performs automatic compilation of orthophotographs 
(up to 9" x 18" in size) in latent image form including grid and 
map symbols. 
d. Compiles automatically, line drop contour (up to 9" x 18" e @ 
in size) in latent image form simultaneously with the orthophoto. 
e. Records on magnetic tape terrain elevations simultaneously 
with the automatic compilation. 
f. Performs electronic rectification functions. 
g. Performs a variety of programmed self-assisting routines 
to avoid the need for time-consuming manual intervention such as 
when going through cloud obscured and water covered areas. 
h. Automatically mosaics successive outputs as defined 
by simple model coordinate limits. 
22. The first instrument was delivered in September 1965. Detailed 
information concerning this equipment and its test will be covered 
later in this paper.
