AbstractThe production of large series of maps at many different scales, for both official and private use, constitutes a major task in production control. This is examined in relation to the Divisions primarily involved; Large Scales, Small Scales; and Publication. Each Division has a Control Section which deals wiih the planning of flow lines, programme integration, and product supervision. These Sections are placed between management and production, and play an important role in providing the information needed for management decisions and applying such decisions to actual production.The paper was given at the Symposium of the British Cartographic Society, Newcastle upon Tyne, September 1967. 相似文献

AbstractAs part of the scientific work of the British North Greenland Expedition (1952–1954), a programme of trigonometrical levelling was carried out from the east to the west coast of Greenland, along a line across the inland ice between latitudes 76° 40′ N., and 78° 10′ N. The primary purpose of the work was to determine accurately the heights above sea level of a series of gravity stations, the gravity measurements being made in connection with determinations of ice thickness. For meteorological purposes it was necessary to know also the altitude of the Expedition's central station, situated in latitude 78° 04′ N., longitude 38° 29′ W. The accuracy necessary for the purpose of the gravity survey was a few metres for the altitudes, while the latitude of each gravity station had to be determined with an accuracy of ± 0.1 minute. 相似文献

Abstract Introductory.—From time to time the question of the relation between the metre and the foot is raised, most frequently perhaps from Africa. Had there been no more than a single metre to consider the question would no doubt arise but seldom: the most recent authoritative comparsion would be generally accepted. But actually it is the existence of two metres—the “ legal” and the “international”—which complicates the question, so much indeed that there is no metrological factor which has influenced survey, British and foreign, more than the relation between these two metres. The question was discussed in this Review (I, 6, 277, 1932), but memories grow shorter, attention is more diffused, and besides there is required a more explicit statement of the situation as it affects British surveyors, especially in Africa, whence the question has been raised anew. To illuminate it, unfortunately the need recurs to repeat some well-known facts. 相似文献

AbstractUnder the Buganda Agreement, which was made in 1900 between the British Government and the Kabaka (King) of Buganda, approximately 9,000 square miles of the kingdom of Buganda were divided into numerous estates, which were allocated to the various reigning chiefs and people of importance at that time. The British Government agreed to survey these estates, most of which were one square mile in area; thus, the term “Mailo” as applied to the land owned by the Baganda, came into use. Since the original Mailo survey, which was completed in 1935, many of the estates have been subdivided. The land has been sold piecemeal, gifted and bequeathed, so that plots now exist which are even less than one acre in area and some in and near large townships are as small as half an acre. The task of the Survey Department is a gargantuan one and, in 1949, it was estimated that there were some 150,000 outstanding surveys. 相似文献

AbstractThe article describes work carried out by the authors on the Manchester Universal Digital Computer at Manchester University. The general characteristics of the computer are discussed. The requirements for traverse reduction for Ordnance Survey work are summarised, with the help of a specific example. The technique required to present the details of a traverse to a computer for reduction is then described, and some details of the operation of the programme are given. The article is concluded with some details of the time taken to carry out the reduction, and remarks about special features of computer design which would have proved advantageous for this work. 相似文献

Abstract Remote sensing is a powerful and accurate means of collecting data for wildlife management, particularly for large areas which are difficult of access and feature delicate ecosystems. Giant panda habitat in the People's Republic of China was evaluated by visual interpretation of multitemporal LANDSAT MSS images. The resulting map, combined with ground survey data, provides important information upon which management decisions can be planned. This case study illustrates that remote sensing techniques can make a significant contribution to the management programme for the conservation of a threatened animal species. 相似文献

AbstractThe late war has been responsible for many unusual situations—not the least of which was that of certain British Colonial Surv1ey Offices passing under the control of an Asiatic Invader, and it is thought that the story of one of them—the Survey Department of Malaya—will not be without interest to readers of this Review. 相似文献

AbstractTo the writer's knowledge nothing has been published, at the time of writing, on British maps as a selling medium in the period 1860–1940. The only exception proves the rule: D. G. Hindley's Advertising in Victorian England 1837–1901 (see Sources) mentions Chas Baker's 1887 ABC Guide to London and Large Pocket Map of London (see below), but does not place it in its context. This means that the subject can only be studied through the maps themselves, against a background of society at the time. 相似文献

Summary The discrepancy between precision and accuracy in astronomical determinations is usually explained in two ways: on the one
hand by ostensible large refraction anomalies and on the other hand by variable instrumental errors which are systematic over
a certain interval of time and which are mainly influenced by temperature.In view of the research of several other persons and the author’s own investigations, the authors are of the opinion that
the large night-errors of astronomical determinations are caused by variable, systematic instrumental errors dependent on
temperature. The influence of refraction anomalies is estimated to be smaller than 0″.1 for most of the field stations.
The possibility of determining the anomalous refraction from the observations by the programme given by Prof. Pavlov and Anderson
has also been investigated. The precision of the determination of the anomalous refraction is good as long as no other systematic
error working in a similar way is present.The results, which are interpreted as an effect of the anomalous refraction by Pavlov and Sergijenko, could also be interpreted
as a systematic instrumental error.
It is furthermore maintained thatthe latitude and longitude of a field station can be determined in a few hours of one night if the premisses given in [3, p.68]are kept.
It has been deplored that the determination of the azimuth has not been given the necessary attention. It is therefore proposed
to intensify the research on this problem.
The profession has been called upon to acquaint itself better with the valuable possibilities of astronomical determinations
and to apply them in a useful and appropriate manner. At the same time, attention has been called to the possibility of improving
astronomical determinations with regard to accuracy as well as effectiveness. 相似文献

AbstractTHE formula for the projection is based upon the spherical assumption. To calculate it for the spheroid might be very complicated and would not be worth while. The projection is suitable for very large areas as a compromise between the Zenithal Equal-area projection on the one hand and the Zenithal Equidistant or Zenithal Orthomorphic on the other. Its application to an area as small as the British Isles would not serve any useful purpose. An analysis of its errors in the general case reveals some unexpected simplicities. This analysis is given below, followed by its application to the particular case of the British Isles on the ten-mile scale. This is done merely to find out what changes would have occurred if the supposed drawing of that map on Airy's projection had been real. 相似文献

AbstractThis paper is the substance of a talk on the Impact of Inflation on Cartography, given to the British Cartographic Society in January 1976. The difficulty of the subject is evident from the many causes of inflation and because of the speed at which inflation was and is affecting every aspect of life. However, the subject has a fascinating horror and is so pertinent that the contemporary value of such a paper is great. 相似文献

AbstractIn their pre-war heyday Batholomew, that most famous of British commercial mapmakers, had a huge worldwide business in every sort and scale of map and atlas for every purpose; not to mention, at one time, an extensive general printing trade. But, even so, their name became firmly associated in the public consciousness with one particular design of map on one particular scale — the half-inch to one mile (1.126 720) layer colored map of Great Britain. This study deals with the early history of the phenomenon, in the context of the firm's other work. It concludes with the completion of the England and Wales series, and the moment when it could be said, in the most elevated and objective of contexts, that the British map buyer — trade and public both — had, thanks to this map, acquired 'the Bartholomew habit'. 相似文献

AbstractThe survey and mapping activities which took place in Palestine and Mesopotamia during the First World War need to be considered in their contexts, both of long-term British mapping activities in the region, and of survey and mapping generally during the First World War. Thus, while it is important to recognise the real technical advances in map-making which resulted from survey activities in the Near and Middle East during the First World War, it needs to be recognised that this was simply the culmination of nearly 80 years of British military mapping in the region. Each generation of surveyors used the most appropriate tools for the task in hand and the conditions under which the survey needed to be conducted. The First World War surveyors were fortunate that a new tool, aerial photography, had become available just prior to the war. 相似文献

AbstractWhilst turning over some old papers the other day I came across a copy of the first Annual Report of the Colonial Survey Committee, and the recent, much regretted death of Sir Herbert Read reminded me of his services in the development of the surveys and explorations of British possessions in Africa, especially his suggestion, which was approved by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, of the formation of the Colonial Survey Committee, an Advisory Committee which was set up in August, 1905. This Committee advised the Secretary of State “in matters affecting the survey and exploration of British Colonies and Protectorates, more especially those in Tropical Africa”. 相似文献

AbstractTHE programme of retrenchment referred to in last year's report was practically completed, with the result that the gross expenditure has been reduced to a figure well within the limit set by the Retrenchment Committee. Actually, gross expenditure was £128,121 (over 45 per cent.) less than in 1930, the peak year in expenditure. 相似文献

AbstractAbout sixteen years ago an apparent need of the time led the writer to consider the construction of a small-scale map of the British Empire. It was immediately obvious that such a sheet, prepared in a manner to reduce the errors of scale and bearing to figures approaching the minimum, would have to extend from the Yukon and across the Eastern Hemisphere to New Zealand_ Accordingly, it would involve an oblique projection, cutting the Equator at some angle to be investigated. Moreover, the depth of the map would necessarily be the least possible in order to conform with the desiderata above. 相似文献

AbstractWhen Lord Kitchener ordered Sir Ian Hamilton in 1915 to command land operations on Gallipoli he gave him a solitary old One Inch map and denied him any air forces. When Winston Churchill had earlier sent the Royal Navy to break through to the Black Sea, he had ensured that the Royal Naval Division withdrawn from fighting on the Western Front was accompanied by a Naval Air Squadron as its forward reconnaissance element. Ernest Dowson, the Surveyor General of Egypt, appointed to provide local mapping support, soon convinced the Naval pilots of the value of air photography taken systematically to meet his map-making requirements. In September 1915 Dowson wrote a Secret technical report demonstrating for the first time to British Commanders the practicality of mapping from specified aeroplane photographs of the operational area. 相似文献
