The Geographical Survey Office is organized as shown in Fig. 1.
Its main photogrammetric activities have hitherto been divided between
two administrative units, a Photogrammetric Division dealing with the
flights for air survey photography and producing the Photo-Maps, and
a Photogrammetric Order Division dealing with orders for photogram
metric work. This form of organization implies that routine of similar
character is sometimes performed in two different parts of the office.
It is thought that an amalgamation of the two units into one department
divided into sections, so that all work of similar technical nature -
irrespective of how ordered — would be done by the same unit and
would be much more rational from the point of view of performance.
Photogrammetric work is, however, done also outside the two photo
grammetric divisions. The third section of the Topographic Division,
for instance, does contouring for the Topographic and Military Maps
in mirror stereoscopes. All divisions of the office are moreover doing
photo-interpretation in connection with their plottings.
