Let us consider an other instrument — the Stereograph SD designed by Prof. F.
V. Drobyshev and also based on the principle of making the resection with the aid of trans-
formed ray-bundles. The scheme shown on Fig. 6 represents an aerial photograph, nm,
obtained with the aid of a lens of a focal length f,, and of a correction plane em,. The linear
segments nm, and nm have the same abscissa, X. As is seen from the scheme, the points m
and m, are on one and the same vertical line. The correction à, depends upon the angles ay,
aq, and segments f, and F.
We have
p —
Af. f,
and
o = C0
AF F
We have also
AF xz tga, F
- = =k (4)
A fx Y tg 04 I
or
(to = ka, (5)
The correction formula is:
xx
09 = f, o (6)
Consequently, the instrument must include:
1. picture holders of focal length f, set at the angles of inclination a (o);
2. correction planes “decentered” at the point of zero warping of the model, and inclined
at the angles ka, kw;
3. a binocular system with vertically directed lines of sighting.
Figure 7 represents a scheme showing all special features of the instrument SD-I; here
we have:
— aerial pictures arranged one after
another along the axis y;
— the principal carriages of the in-
strument X, Y,Z;
— two correction planes which are
set at the angles ka, kw;
— resection levers.
The correction planes change the
focal length F of the instrument
while the carriages and the tracing
pen are being moved in the process of
compilation of the map.
In this instrument the resection
is carried out in a scale which is near
to that of the corresponding aerial
photograph; a subsequent enlarge-
ment of the model scale (up to 2,2) is produced with the aid of a pantograph. We give here
a photo of the instrument (Fig. 8), from which may be seen its conformity with the design
scheme as given above.
