we can begin with the inditement of a final draft of the dictionary in eight poc

If we suppose the size of the dictionary to be 17/25 cm, 6272 words require their r 
300 pages for the alphabetical registers of words in the eight different languages, A 
and about 400 pages for the dictionary itself. In the alphabetical registers the suppor 
key-numbers for each word are to be found, under which it is to be looked up 
in the dictionary. Now we suggest to publish the multi-lingual photogrammetric 
dictionary in three volumes. The first volume of 300 pages contains the alpha- 
betical registers in different languages, the other two volumes include the words 
from No. 1 to 3136 and from 3137 to 6272 together with their translations into 
all the eight languages. So the printing costs, including bookbinding and paper 
for an edition of 1000 volumes would rise in Austria to A
