the other, but it is essential that, when
adjusting the stereoblock, there should be
some height control applied to each of its
component strips, since the internal angle
conditions in themselves give no Stability
to prevent one strip having a longitudinal
"twist" relative to another,
These heights need not have been provided by
ground survey for every Stereoblock, since
they can be carried through from stereoblock
to stereoblock, Again, it is desirable
that a certain amount of plan control should
be available (again it may be carried through
ffom an adjacent stereoblock), and if it is
not, the block should be "anchored" by
arbitrarily fixing one or more coordinates
(since otherwise the least squares solution
will be indeterminate),
Radar or Tellurometer Distance Measurement.
This may be between two air stations, between
an air and a ground point, or between two
ground points; in all cases, the "obsèrved
quantity" is the distance itself, and the six
coefficients of dX,dY,d2,dX',dY',aZ' are
(X-X')/R, (Y-Y')/R, etc.
where R^ = (x-x')^4 (y-Y*)?

Star or Sun Observations. It is assumed that
the heavenly body is photographed, at a known
time and simultaneously with the mainair photo,
and that the two cameras are rigidly connected,
in a previously determined manner, Let the
astro camera centre have coordinates (X,¥,2)
in the main photocoordinate system, and let the
ray from the heavenly body, produced, meet the
main photo plane in a point whose coordinates
are (x,y,O); let the heavenly body have direction
cosines (1l,m,n) at that instant, in the ground
coordinate scheme, Then one may be considered
to have an additional photo point, with consequently
two additional observation equations, the photo
coordinates of this point being fei and its
provisional coordinates (U-Wl/n,V-Wm/n,O), so
that there is no addition to the number of
variables through having an astro shot.x
Simultaneous Obliques and Verticals,
Here again, if the cameras are rigidly connected
and the relationship known, an oblique photo
point can be projected on to the main photo plane,
and then shifted sideways by the amount that the
oblique camera centre differs from the main camera
