of the terrain or to.use profiles constructed from an eas-

will permit further extension of the rectification

As we know, over 30 years elapsed before these
early ideas were put to practical use.
1. Direct Projection Type Instruments.
a. Equipment built by the U.S.A. Geological
Survey and the Kelsh Instrument Division of
Danko Arlington, Inc, U.S.A.
These are the instruments derived from the
"Orthophotoscope" developed by the U.S. Geological Survey
of 1956 according to R.K. Bean. They consist of three
projectors mounted over a projection table. All three
projectors can be of the same type (Balplex), accommoda-
ting aerial photographs reduced to half size. In another
version, T-64 equipment, the central projector is the
