This manual is a unique and comprehensive collection of practical operating instructions and engineering fundamentals of photogrammetry. It includes references to all the important applications of the science as currently employed in the United States. Of primary importance is the fact that the manual provides in one volume, for the use of professional workers in photogrammetry, the current American practices for construction of maps including large-scale engineering-type plans, standard topographic quadrangles, and small-scale reconnaissance and planning charts -- Dust jacket.
