Applications in architecture (138) and archaeology have continued to be a major 
departmental interest. Studies at Wells Cathedral were carried out for Caroe 
and Martin acting for the Dean and Chapter. These led to the award of 
commercial contracts to an air survey company. Assistance was given to the 
National Maritime Museum when a model of the Gokstád faering (101) was 
surveyed photogrammetrically and the Brigg boat (102) was recorded prior to 
its removal to Greenwich from Humberside. Plotting of tomb fagades at Petra 
i 
in Jordan has continued on a long term basis. 
The Department has been concerned with medical applications of photogrammetry, 
including the measurement of the retina of the eye (58), studies of movement of 
the eye (13) and plastic surgery (9). In 1974, work on measurement of the opti: 
disc (67) won for the authors the combined Royal Colleges Medal (Royal 
College of Surgeons, Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of 
Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) for an outstanding contribution of photog raphy 
in the service of medicine. Collaboration with the University of Birmingham 
Medical School led to some useful studies of tooth shape (40). In conjunction 
with the work on exophthalmology, a stereometric camera was built to designs 
developed by L F H Beard of Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge (13). This 
instrument can also be used for plotting its own photography. 
Camera calibration (15) and tests (10) are also continuing in work connec ted wit! 
the analysis of box girder structures at Imperial College of Science and Techno- 
logy. Other applications in the field of engineering have included the analysis 
y 
of model structures for the University of Surrey (6), the Cavendish Laboratory, 
; NOIR 
Cambridge, and Central London Polytechnic. Open pit mining (130, 131 
for the Transport and Road Research Laboratory and for Devon County Council 
all involved the analysis of steep slopes using terrestrial photogrammetry 
T^ 
Evidence has been deduced from non- metric photography of several marine 
accidents.

Over the past two years this surveying practice has been extensively engaged 
in non- topographic photogrammetry, particularly in connection with dimensional 
control for large offshore structures (111, 112), the survey of rock abutments 
or dams and various architectural applications.

Short range photogrammetry has been used to record surface movements that 
occur on a soil model under centrifugal testing (62, 63). The data acquisition 
system comprises closed circuit TV which is used to supply indirect obser- 
tions during the test, two Zeiss (Jena) UMK 10/1318 cameras and a powerful 
flash unit. The data reduction system consists of a Kelsh plotter, a parallax 
bar and Zeiss (Jena). Stereopantometer and, more recently a Zeiss (Jena) 
stereocomparator with paper tape punch and desk top programmable calculator. 
Photogrammetric measurements were used to deduce the nature of the failure 
of soil models, as well as the prediction of similar behaviour on the full 
scale prototype. Other applications in the construction industry and the fields 
of building deformations and of medicine are being investigated
