Army air officers have perfected
automatic timing of exposures to

the same time secure the necessary
overlap for the accurate fitting to-

permits taking of pictures from the

Lenses have been discovered espe-

and the officers have developed the
technique covering such details as the
best height from which to take pic

flights TO insure vertically of view.
The maps now produced by air service
photographers. according to officers,
attain a high degree of accuracy and
wealth of valuable detail.
Aerial photography is among the
subjects taught at the Ross Field
school. Air service officers point out
that among points of particular value
to engineering to be fougia In aerial
photography are the speed With which
such maps may be produced, ability
to cover territory inaccessible on foot,
comparatively low cost and impos-
sibility of emitting any feature of the
area photographed.
