Abstract: 9190. Selke, W. April 18, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 29,260/10.] Stereoscopic apparatus.-Relates to modifications of the reproduction methods described in the parent Specification, and consists in directly determining points in three-dimensional space corresponding to points on two stereogrammetric photographs of the object under observation. The two photographs 2, 3, Fig. 1, are observed by the enlarging-stereoscope 4 and are connected by arms 44 to the supports 11, 15 of the rods or sighting-tubes 9, which move freely about the pivot points 7, 14. The photographs are first centred and the rods 9 adjusted parallel. The suspensions are then fixed to the rods 9. By shifting the plates 2, 3 to bring similar points under central observation, two directions in space are obtained which determine the corresponding point in space. The suspension points are separated by a distance B equal to the separation of the objectives used in taking the photos and are at a distance f in front or behind, equal to the focal length of the taking objectives. According to a second modification the plates 2, 3 are observed under two independent monocular viewing-instruments. In a third modification, objectives 46, 47, Fig. 4, with a focal length f are connected with the suspension points 7, 14, the plates 2, 3 are kept stationary, and the viewing-instruments 4<b> are moved to bring various points under observation. The objectives 46, 47 form with the viewing-instruments 4<b> a telescopic combination corresponding to the devices for determining two directions in space to obtain the corresponding point on the work-piece. The objectives 46, 47 may alternatively oscillate with the viewing-instruments 4<b> and be mounted in rigid connexion therewith. Reproductions on various scales are made by proportionally varving the distance B, and reproductions having the depth dimensions on a different scale to the length and breadth dimensions are obtained by proportionally varying the separation of the points 7, 11 and 14, 15 respectively. A full reproduction of any object is obtained by using several of the above devices round the workpiece.
