systematic errors depend upon errors in the inner ang outer
orientation only. It is obvious that there are also other
sources of errors. In the Autograph A 7, which is an insti.
ment with mecanical projection, there are for instance the
"Breiten- and Schiefen" errors and the lacking intersection of
of the movable parts may also cause errors and the method for
testing the instruments can be extended to include also this
kind of errors. The problem is only to study their influences
upon the projected grid points and then to make the computation
with more degrees of freedom, Also these problems have been
treated at the Division of Photogrammetry.
In most cases superflous observations are present, In
practise the adjustment procedure, particularely the error pro-
pagation, is more or less approximative as a result of the diffi.
culty in detecting the systematic errors, The standard error of
the measurements is, however, a good indicator of the precence
of systematic errors not taken into consideration at the adjust-
ments amounted to about 6 microns in the grid plane and the
standard error of the distortion to about ^ microns,
