FIGURE 1—The UNAMACE 
INTRODUCTION 
The Universal Automatic Map Compi- 
lation Equipment (UNAMACE), developed 
by The Bunker-Ramo Corporation for the 
U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Labora- 
tory, was described in a preliminary paper 
presented at the Tenth International Con- 
gress, International Society for Photogram- 
metry, Lisbon, Portugal, in 1964l. In the 
intervening period, four of the equipments 
have been completed and are being used 
by the U.S. Army; these have amply demon- 
strated the validity of the design concepts. 
The success of the UNAMACE led to the 
development of a second instrument, the 
Automatic Photomapper. This unit, also 
for the U.S. Army Engineer Topographic 
Laboratory, is a small, ruggedized version 
of the UNAMACE. It is designed so that 
it can be moved to a theater of operations 
and set up for use. 
This paper describes the principal fea- 
tures of the two equipments. 
THE UNAMACE 
The complete operational configuration 
of the UNAMACE is shown in Figure 1. 
It consists of four precision tables (left 
background), the computer complex includ- 
ing a BR-133 computer with paper and 
magnetic tape input/output units (left fore- 
ground), the operator's console (center), 
and an electronics rack (right).
