Originally published in 1925, this book was written following a series of experiments at Cambridge regarding problems arising in the construction of maps from aerial photographs. The text provides a record and description of the experiments, discussing the results in relation to potential choices of method and equipment. Illustrative figures and appendices are included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in aerial surveying and the development of mapping.
